The BAT Firewall
281
A direct data exchange between LAN and DMZ via LAN bridge is not possible
if a dedicated DMZ port is used. The path from LAN to DMZ and vice versa
is therefore only possible through the router, and thus also only through the
Firewall! This shields the LAN against inquiries from the DMZ, similar to the
LAN against inquiries from the Internet.
Note: The shielding of the DMZ against the Internet on one side and the LAN
on the other is solved in many network structures with two separate Fire-
walls. When using a BAT with DMZ port, only one device for this setup is
needed, which e.g. results in a clearly simplified configuration.
8.3.7 Hints for setting the Firewall
The BAT Firewall is an extremely flexible and powerful tool. In order to help
you to creating individual Firewall rules, you'll find in the following some hints
for your specific application

vated automatically.
