List,

  I'm currently doing work for a large company as a consultant.  Another
consultant is installing a MS Exchange server and is now requesting for me
to forward ports on the PIX from the Internet to internal servers.  I have
explained that port forwarding is very risky but they don't seem to
understand.  Are there any publications that can be used to show the link
between port forwarding and bad security posture.  I've scoured and found
nothing (maybe its to obvious to document?)...
