I have been given the following scenario: Deploy a gateway and publish a SharePoint site and file server access through it. Initially it will be to connect client sites to us and allow them access to our intranet etc. However it may need to be opened to home workers (IE I cannot tie down all in coming connection from home workers, I could if it was only a site to site incoming public IP from business A, B and C)
The severs used here are sitting in a DMZ with the forward edge device being a CheckPoint firewall.
My question here is I have been looking at the TMG and UAG for this task. My understanding the TMG is a true firewall and can publish the SharePoint but not the file server? The UAG is a gateway to proxy connections and publish apps but not a true firewall??
So if I have to publish SharePoint and files I could use a UAG and tie down the incoming connection with my CheckPoint, however if home workers have to hit the services I would need a TMG to proxy connections with a UAG behind to publish the file shares?
Let me know if this does not make sense, it makes sense in my head !!
Thanks.

No out bound connections from the LAN segment bar windows and AV updates (no users) so the TMG is not required.
So I use my current firewall with an inbound HTTP/S rule only for defence to hit UAG EXT INT to publish SharePoint and File server. This will cover off my tasks, the one answer I still cannot find is does TMG support the file access? Or is this done via UAG only?
