RE: [Devil-Linux-discuss] DMZ Problem

[Bobble H. <bob...@ho...>]

Thanks, my misunderstanding of the DMZ, thanks for clarifing this for me.
Confusing as if you look at this web site:
h**p://compnetworking.about.com/cs/networksecurity/g/bldef_dmz.htm
it suggests the DMZ is outside the firewall, I now know better!

I will look at the rules as you suggested, thanks for the advice.
