Re: One NIC on public side

["mike () grounded net" <mike () grounded net>]

BTW, while I've seen replies on my original question, I'm still hazy on how safe it is to do what I'd like to.

Here is what it looks like.

WAN
 |
Switch (On the public side - This was a hub)
 |
Firewall
 |
Core Switch--Lan side Switches off of multiple firewall interfaces
 |
Server with two Nics running wireshark on it
Nic0 connected inside LAN
Nic1 connected to first switch before firewall

It was suggested that I take all protocols off of Nic1 which would make it safe to have on the public side.
At the time, I was connecting to a hub before the firewall. At the moment, I am connected to the core switch and am 
using port mirroring. 
What I would like to do is to have Nic1 connected to the public side switch, which would have port mirroring. 
I ordered a new switch to replace the hub so should have this setup in a few days.

What I'm looking for is input on just how safe this setup is.
