After seeing this topic go on for some time why not have a router with 2
network interfaces one interface you would have your firewall and then
internal LAN
<> Firewall <> LAN
internet <> router
<> Firewall <> DMZ
The other would have your firewall and then DMZ. You can then deny all
traffic with a source add from the DMZ going to a dest of your LAN. This
still wouldnt stop traffic originally coming from the LAN as im assuming
you would be using NAT so the source address would be the routers
external interface and it was initiated by the LAN. Hopefully this
sugestion makes sense however routers with 2 10/100 network ports can be
rather expensive.
Anyways thats my 2cents

Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
The Gartner Group just put Neoteris in the top of its Magic Quadrant,
while InStat has confirmed Neoteris as the leader in marketshare.
Find out why, and see how you can get plug-n-play secure remote access in
about an hour, with no client, server changes, or ongoing maintenance.
