Port triggering is a special form of port forwarding, which is activated by outgoing traffic, and
for which ports are only forwarded while the trigger is active.
Few applications truly require the use of the DMZ host. Following are examples of when a
DMZ host might be required:

that two port forwarding rules cannot be used because they would potentially be in conflict.
‧ To handle incoming connections that use a protocol other than ICMP, TCP, UDP, and IGMP
(also GRE and ESP, when these protocols are enabled by the PPTP and IPSec
