basic DMZ Question
 

I have found tons of DMZ info but have not been able to glean the answer to these questions.

Any help or specific links will be appreciated.

My understanding is that DMZ completely exposes a computer to the internet.

Does that mean the router no longer performs ANY of its magic for the DMZ'd computer?
Does the DMZ'd computer get its own IP address from the ISP, separate from the router?


Thanks for any help,

You use a dmz to limit the risks you run when you give Internet users access to one or more server(s) placed in that zone.
If you use a simple router the risks are very high, I would advise you to use a firewall to setup the access rules.
If you use iptables to implement the firewall you don't need an additional ip address, you can forward a port request to the server in the dmz.

Thanks arno,
So if I understand correctly, a computer in the DMZ of my router will still get its IP address served to it from the router?
It just wont have any of the firewall from the router?

Thanks again,
