In a nutshell, what is a DMZ?
demilitarized zone. It's a network with routable (non-RFC1918) IP addresses but behind a firewall. In the DMZ are the servers located, with offer services for the internet or wich are act as proxies for the internal hosts. An idea is to block all connections from the internal lan to the internet. By this, every connection must be relayed (i.e. by a proxy). An attacker needs to get a host in the DMZ to be able to attack the internal lan, since anythink else get blocked. To make the attack against the DMZ not easy, it's firewalled too. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
