5.6 DMZ Host
On the DMZ Host page, you can expose one or more client PCs in
your network to the Internet. It is often used for online games that
require unstricted two-way communications.
The total number of DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) hosts you can have
depends on how many Global Addresses you have configured on the
Global Address page. For example, if you have defined 5 Global
Addresses (including the default IP), you are limited to 5 DMZ hosts.
Since the maximum number of Global Addresses is 8, the total
number of DMZ hosts you can configure is also 8.
