If the BSD box is already behind the firewall, then poke a
hole in the existing one to allow access to the GUI from
your machine or network from the internet. It doesn't really
matter because even if someone in the office inside LAN
found the 3Ware http server running on tcp 888 (obscure)
they'd need the credentials to do anything anyway. Setting
up a firewall on BSD is way more complicated than getting
the 3Ware software setup.
What's perhaps better/easier/more useful to you is to setup
the 3dm2 3Ware software so that it will E-mail you when it
gets into trouble or has a problem. Then you do not need to
worry about it, constantly checking the http GUI. This is
how mine is setup, it seems very trustworthy.
