Need help in setting access to unix server

I am performing some work for a small business that has no IT staff. They contract out work from time to time for their IT needs.

What they would like to do is grant access to an AIX 5.3 server for some external customers to perform some application testing. They are running Active Directory and do not want to set up temporary users for the testing purpose. They don't want to accidentally allow users access to other resources other than the AIX server. They are running a T1 line that comes into a switch. They have asked me to provide access to the server. I have some admin experience but only at a beginner to intermediate level. I am looking for a very good option. Here are some of the ideas I have.

1) Attach the server in front of the firewall by connecting it directly to the switch. (Not sure if I can get a static IP though. Not sure what the T1 line allows) I know they have at least one static IP from the T1 provider.

2) Keep the server behind the firewall and use some kind of software like Itivity to grant access to server. But would still have to set up AD accounts.

3) Have them purchase cable and set up a separate network that does not tie into AD. However, I am not sure how I would grant access from the internet, since the IP will be behind the firewall and be a 192.168.x.xx number.

4) Purchase another router and create a secondary network and place the server into the new network. Still don't know how I grant access from the internet because of the 192.168 ip address.

The company wants to keep the server secure as well as proprietary information on other servers. They are very hesitant about setting up external accounts in AD and would prefer direct access to the server that does not involve AD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

localemanager(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					  localemanager(8)

NAME
localemanager -- Configure OpenDirectory Server Locales SYNOPSIS
localemanager operation [-l localename] [-subnet 1.2.3.4/5] [-server servername] [-i IP address] DESCRIPTION
localemanager creates, destroys, and edits OpenDirectory Server Locale information. Locales are collections of OpenDirectory servers to assist clients in locating the nearest OpenDirectory Server. To use OpenDirectory Server Locales, simply create a locale on an OD server with the createLocale operation. Then add servers and subnets to the locale. All localemanager operations are performed on the local OpenDirectory node. The first time a locale is created, a DefaultLocale will automatically be created as well. The DefaultLocale will be used for any clients that don't match a subnet in any other locale. Before a locale can be configured, the server must already be an OpenDirectory server. Locales can be defined on each of the OD servers or on a single OD server in the group of OD master/replicas. For the latter, the locale information will get replicated to all of the other servers but locales will need to be "enabled" on the other servers by running the command localemanager enableLocales. Commands: help Displays the commands and options. createLocale Creates a new locale on the local OD server. This command requires the -l option. deleteLocale Deletes a locale from the local OD server. This command requires the -l option. showLocale Displays the current locale(s). The -l option can be used to display a specific locale. If -l is not specified, all locales are displayed. enableLocales Enables the use of locales on an OD server. This command is automatically run the first time any localemanager command is run on an OD server. Therefore this command only needs to be run if no other localemanager commands have been (or will be) run on this server. addSubnet Adds a new subnet to the specified locale. This command requires the -l -subnet options. removeSubnet Removes a subnet from the specified locale. This command requires -l -subnet options. addServer Adds a server to the specified locale. This command requires the -l -server options. If the -i option is specified, that IP address will be used by locale clients. This may be useful for multi-homed servers to restrict locale clients to a specific network interface. If the -i option is not specified the IP address(es) will be looked up. removeServer Removes a server from the specified locale. This command requires -l -server options. If the -i option is specified, only that IP address will be removed from the locale. If the -i option is no specified, all of the server's IP addresses will be removed from the locale. Options: -l locale Locale name. -subnet 192.168.0.0/16 Subnet specified in CIDR notation. -server server.example.com Server fully-qualified domain name. -i 192.168.1.1 Use this IP address for the server. Typically used to limit locale clients to a specific interface on a multi-homed server. FILES
