Network Access Question

[JMeier@xxxxxxxxxx]

We are a Public Library (Albuquerque Public Library) using Innopac and in
the process of moving to Millennium with eighteen branch libraries
including one library (Rio Rancho Public Library) in a neighboring city
which make us a consortium.  We have 6 class C licenses subnetted across
all of the branch libraries including Rio Rancho Library. Rio Rancho uses a
class C subnet from us to access the Innopac through a terminal server and
Wyse 55 VT devices over a T-1 line to our Main library for Circ, Acq,
Cataloging, etc. They also have a separate class C subnet from the City of
Rio Rancho. They use PC's to access their Novell network, the Internet and
Administrative services on a T-1 line directly to City Hall in Rio Rancho.
Now that we are moving to Millennium, they would like to replace the Wyse
terminals at the circulation desk, Reference desk and the staff desks to
access both systems. If they used the Rio Rancho IP subnet, we would have
to put the IP address from their Firewall in our Limit Network Access
table, which would give the City of Rio Ranch access to our system and we
do not want to do that. If they used Albuquerque's IP subnet, Albuquerque
would have access to Rio Rancho's network and they will not allow that. If
anyone has any ideas on how to give Rio Rancho access to Albuquerque's
system without compromising security please respond.

Thank you!
