Looking for a Security Solution

11

February 3, 2010 by Mike Hillwig

We have some pretty strict security policies in my company. That often means coming up with creative solutions to problems. Hopefully someone in the DBA community can help me.

We have a company that does some outside work for us. We have a database server at their location. We need to allow the database server to talk to our DB server in a network DMZ.  We’d use a linked server from the remote site to talk to our DMZ server. I’m okay setting up the username/password and the firewall ports. The problem is that we need to have the traffic between the two servers encrypted.

To further complicate this, we don’t want all of the traffic on these servers encrypted, just the traffic that goes across the internet.

I’m completely befuddled on how to do this properly. There is a very good chance that I’m making this harder than it needs to be, and I’d be thrilled if someone gave me a simple solution.
