This is the demilitarized zone. This is a part of the three part
firewall. This is the LAN in between the outside filter router and the inside
filter router where you would place your WWW and E-mail servers for example.
This way, if someone were to breach your outside filter by way of your www or
e-mail servers, the "hacker" would still not be inside your internal network
because they are on the other side of the inside router. Hence the
demilitarized zone (DMZ).
