Hi,
We have a system that resides outside of our firewall for public access. At present this system talks directly to the internal database and so I want to explore our options to change this and make the internal systems more secure.

Is it possible to have web services on the external (hardened) IIS server talk to web services on another IIS server that resides within the firewall, thus only needing to expose the database credentials to the internal web services?

The web services on the external server will also be using tokens to authenticate with the internal web services, and will have limited functionality such as 'select' only, no create, update or delete functionality; however the internal web services do have this functionality.
