Why does MS recommend inserting configering a network server as a gateway when deploying a single server on a small network.
I understand that any network connected to the internet needs a strong firewall, but MS recommends making the server a gateway even if there is also a hardware firewall in the network.
This configuration seems like overkill, so I am curious why MS insists this is the prefered configuration on a small one server network.
