Hi FreeBSDers, I have a simple question.

What scheme for securing LAN is better?

 

                                    Internet

                                          |

Apache          _____ FreeBSD ____LAN

Web Server                Firewall

 

or

                                   Internet

                                         |

                                   FreeBSD

                                   Firewall

                                         |

                                   Apache

                                    Web Server

                                         |

                                   FreeBSD

                                   Firewall

                                         |

                                      LAN

 

What are advantages and disadvantages of two?

I know that is much more important how tuned Firewalls, Web Server and workstations behind are.

Is there any difficulty for workstations that should works in Internet, because of two Firewalls?
