You'd have to be crazy to put the DRAC card on a public IP.  Do you
really trust Dell embedded Linux? >:}

Actually I would never run sshd(8) of any vendor on a public IP --
always behind an IPSec stateful firewall with some kind of IDS
inspection between end users(*) and something I care about.

I pity all of these web services providers who have to run sshd(8)
public.  DenySSH + OpenBSD pf(4) baby!

(*) End users may be running Windows, which means keystroke loggers and
other malware.
