Hi I have two farms as described below.
Scenario:
1. FARM A - Internal Farm
2. FARM B - DMZ Farm
Farm B has Managed Metadata Services. Farm A and Farm B are in separate domains with no trust and firewall in between.
Our security team only allows for calls to be initiated from internal network to DMZ. So no calls are allowed from DMZ to internal.
Q -
I would like FARM A to consume MMS from FARM B. In terms of firewall I realize these ports need to be open:
32843, 32844 and 32845
But question is does the firewall rule have to allow for two way communication? Can we make this work with only allowing calls from internal to DMZ?
Similar question but doesn't answer to firewall communication direction:

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
