DMZ : Demilitarized Zone

DMZ : Demilitarized Zone :
Also called the free-trade zone or the neutral zone, this is an area in your network that allows a limited and controlled amount of access from the public Internet. The DMZ often hosts the corporation's Web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites, email, external Domain Name Service (DNS), and the like. This network segment usually lies between the internal corporate network and the public Internet.
