Talk:DMZ (computing)

Illustrations

The picture does not show a proper DMZ. It should look like (in ascii art):

[internet]----[Firewall]--------------[Firewall]-----[Internal network]
                             |
                           [DMZ]

What is shown here is a three-legged firewall concept.

I am confused as to the way a DMZ is laid out. The pictures are showing two different methods, which I understand are differences in topography. But, how is the ascii art dipiction laid out with the actual machines, is there a router between the firewalls? There should maybe be an illustration in the article or more detailed discriptions. 12:08 CDT, 02 June 2006

The boundary between

The term DMZ has been used to describe the boundary between autonomous networks, likely predating the adoption of the term by firewall vendors.
