As I understand the term from the O'Reilly & Bellovin firewalls books, a
DMZ is all the systems which are set in the same address space as the
firewall; not hanging off of it from a third NIC. The third NIC subnet
allows for the firewall to afford some protection to these systems,
whereas my definition leaves the DMZ systems unprotected except for there
own methods. See what I mean?
