A DMZ in this context is a network that has been isolated from the
rest of your local network. You can access it from your local
network, it can access the rest of the world, but it can't access your
network. The idea is that, if a machine in the DMZ is compromised, it
can only access other machines in the DMZ.

if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all
means, do not use a hammer." -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
