What do you mean when you say your web server is running its own firewall? I could well be wrong, but I am not aware of a web server that can run a firewall; web servers and firewalls are, as I understand them, quite different kinds of software, though I am aware of some hardware that have built in firewalls.I am developing a small web application. Currently, our web server issitting outside our firewall (running its own firewall), and the applicationbeing developed would let users do things like place orders. My question is...what and where is the database for this?
He is probably running Linux, which has apache and iptables and thus is a webserver that is running its own firewall.
