Remote network rendering

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Nicholas Moshenko, Aug 12, 2003.

  1. I would like to get some thoughts on security as it relates to setting up
    remote network rendering for Viz. We have a small office that houses a
    render farm and I frequently work from home. Our office has a DSL connection
    (dynamic IP) fed through a Linksys 8-port DSL router to our LAN. We also
    have a Linux server that uses dynamic DNS services. As a test I opened up
    the Viz network manager port on our router, set it to forward those requests
    to the render manager machine, and successfully connected, submitted and
    managed network render jobs from home using our dynamic DNS address (oh, the
    power ;D).

    My question is: what kind of security risks, if any, does this method pose?

    Thanks -
