Hi,
We want to create an Internet sealing system. The web server where the site is located isn’t owned by our company however the SQL server that contains reservation data is in our Local Area Network. In the beginning, due to security reasons, we considered to set another SQL Server in our DMZ and update our internal SQL Server through Replication. We’ve been highly recommended to use Web Services instead of Replication. Replication has been let out; however, I’m thinking of setting a SQL Server in the DMZ which only has stored procedures that update our Internal database (The database which contains reservation data). What’s your opinion about this? I know that Web Services is the best choice but I would like to know if it’s a good alternative.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
I strongly recommend that you consider a Reverse Proxy Server. This is the approach we use - no databases to replicate or otherwise move tot he DMZ, less disk space used (can be a real issue if the DB is large) a its secure.
Don't be put of by the idea that your live DB is connected to the Internet - it is a secure option and IMHO takes away all of the problems associated with having a DB in the DMZ (how to keep consistent, etc)
