Moving Jira instance to DMZ

Question

We have half a dozen developers that need access to our jira instance.  Currently it sits internally and every thing is configured perfectly.

Is our only option moving Jira to the DMZ (external side of firewall)?

Has anybody done this before?

Can I setup an Apache instance externally and do a reverse proxy to the internal Jira site?

Any suggestions?

Hi Lance,

JIRA works fine with a reverse proxy.

Here's a doc for how to do that:

We have our Atlassian tools hosted internally and are planning to give access to all via Citrix.

There are remote control applications you can use to access your office computers if your network administrators allow outside secure access.    Each has its pros and cons in terms of perfomance, features and usability.

Here is one article pointing you at some of the more popular products out there.
