[FW1] DMZ, why and why not?

[Pradeep Subramaniam <pradeep@tradeit.com>]

Hi All,

I am new to this mailing group, so if there are any etiquettes I have
missed, do forgive me.

I have recently installed and configured Firewall-1 for our LAN.
Currently, I have our Internet Web server in the LAN and am doing
address translation for external access.

There are other servers that I would like to setup, ftp, DNS, etc.
Before I do this, however, I would like to know if there are any
advantages to creating a DMZ and having these servers in there than
keeping them in the LAN, like the web server.

Could anyone out there throw some light on this? Thanks.

Pradeep.
