I saw somebody referred to this entry and refused to study the entry
immediately after seeing the word "firewalled", saying "my environment is
not firewalled", without trying to judge if the description applies to his
case.  This was understandable; the workflow will apply in non-firewalled
case just as well, even though "firewalled" case may be the easiest to see
why it is recommended.

Perhaps the title of the entry needs to be rewritten to clarify that this
is not _limited_ to a firewalled situation?
