Sorry to be off-topic, but I'd like to get the team's opinion of the meaning of the term DMZ. I've always assumed that this refers to the Internet Service lan on a triple-homed computer, where the three interfaces are directed to a) the - hopefully - secure private network, b) the protected but not fully so IS lan (DMZ) and c) the Internet, where the bad guys are. However, I keep seeing references which indicate that people see the Internet as the DMZ. I can't see that there is anything demilitarized about the Internet... So what's the answer? mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
