I want to setup a web server on the Internet that communicates through
our firewall to our internal db2 server (DB2 V8.2, Linux, Apache, PHP).
I'm going to restrict all traffic from the web server via
portforwarding, and will ensure that the web server is secure. The web
server will only call stored procedures, and will have limited access to
the database. As a precaution, I want to encrypt the communications
between db2 and Apache in the event that another one of my external
boxes is comprimised. I will be working through a managed switch, but
that doesn't guarantee security. My question is this, does db2 provide
a way to encrypt communications, or do I need to use something like
stunnel? As far as I can tell, the SERVER_ENCRYPT only secures the
password during authentication.

Thanks,
Mike
