As I said, you're being pedantic. Extremely so, at this point. SANS, for one, doesn't agree with your rigid definition. Perhaps you should take the task of bringing the world to your point of view to them.
http://rr.sans.org/firewall/DMZ.php My definition was *quite* accurate. Your responses, however, indicate only truculence and intractibility. If you secure your network in the same manner, then you're in for a few surprises. As I said in my original response, a true DMZ may also lie between two firewalls. My statement was accurate, and your insistence has now just become ridiculous. Laura ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul D. Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Laura A.
