Re: Svr-03 and DMZ

A DMZ is behind a firewall. The real difference is what is between the DMZ and the private LAN. If you use the back-to-back firewall model there is an additional firewall between the DMZ and the private LAN.

The best candidates for a DMZ are servers which need to be accessed routinely from the Internet but only occasionally or never from the LAN. Some people like to put things like Exchange or remote access servers in a DMZ but I don't like the idea. It means that you have to open up the inner firewall to allow client machines acccess to the servers in the DMZ.

What is a very good reason to put a server, such as a RRAS or any server, on
a DMZ instead of behind a firewall?
Thanks for the input.
