4.4.3.4 DMZ Host

The demilitarized military zone (DMZ) host feature allows one
local computer to be exposed to the Internet. This function is
applicable for:

Users who want to use a special-purpose Internet service,
such as an on-line game or video conferencing program,
that is not presented in the port forwarding list and for
which no port range information is available.

Users who are not concerned with security and wish to
expose one computer to all services without restriction.
Note: A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be
vulnerable to attack. This may also put other computers
in the home network at risk. Hence, when designating a
DMZ host, you must consider the security implications
