Subject: [NTLK] Just a little bit embarrassed...

OK...I'm a little ashamed that it took me this long to get my site back up.
A little explanation if you want...I run two ESXi servers at home. All my Newton \
stuff (web server, SQL server, Cold Fusion server) was sitting on one server. This \
ESXi server hosted other outward facing sites as well. The other server hosts my \
internal stuff...SharePoint, another website, IP Cam repository, plus another SQL \
server (to host my SharePoint site). This server is configured for internal \
connections only. This, along with strong firewall rules and separate networks keeps \
the traffid separate. 

I figured that instead of building a new SQL on my external ESXi server, I'll just \
pop the database onto the SQL server on my internal ESXi server, make some security \
changes and all would be good... Nope, no such luck.
I ran into so many problems due to my paranoid security techniques, it was darn-near \
impossible for me to get the internal SQL to see the external IIS server... Needless \
to say, multiple firewall changes, host file updates and fiddling with static routes, \
and configuring my internal security password strength to match external security \
password strength (internal passwords were looser due to people inside the house not \
being all that computer savvy) I finally got the Cold Fusion DSN to connect to the \
new SQL database server... The short version is that my site is now back up...
Some of you may be getting another email from me...the database I had to use is an \
older database and my updater notifier saw that new packages were uploaded so it sent \
out an email to people who asked to be informed of updates...this should be the only \
email you get...unless I add more packages..

Sorry for the delay.
