Thanks for the quick answer!

Another question, then. Will tools like bscan need to run locally on the SD 
with access to the database to be useful? If so, what would be a preferred 
setup for the environment described? I will be able to reach the database (on 
the director machine) from one of the networks, but from the DMZ, it might be a 
hassle involving ssh tunnels and the likes.

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
