Can i assign a second Public IP address to the WAN port on a sonicwall 2040? I am guessing i can but i am new to sonicwalls. It will be used for an SSL connection to an inhouse web server.

Thanks.
 
You can do one to one NAT pointing the second external address to the internal web server address. I would NOT ever
run a web server from the internal network. Put it in a DMZ. Someone will hack the webserver and have access to your internal network from that point on.

Thank you for the reply mrbspc. I am planning on putting the webserver in the DMZ. And a one to one NAT sounds like the way to go.

Thanks again.
