There are many reasons. The first of all, in this situation:
internet --> Firewall --> LAN --> DMZ
You need to pass through you LAN to access the DMZ ... I dont need to say anithing more. The purpose of a DMZ is to isolate the public servers from outside the LAN. If someone hacks the DMZ will not be able to access the LAN.
internet --> Outer Firewall --> DMZ --> Inner Firewall --> LAN
In this other situation you need to pass through the DMZ to access the LAN, so all conections from the LAN to the INTERNET will pass in the DMZ.. if someone compromise the DMZ will be able to snif the conections to the internet and a lot of other things ... ->The "real" purpose of a DMZ is to isolate your public servers, nothing more.

Ideally, the DMZ should sit on a seperate connection to the Internet from the rest of the network, using a different ISP and therefore, different IP block. This provides the most isolation.I'm afraid I don't see how that: internet --> Firewall --> Lan internet --> Firewall --> DMZ would be any more secure than this: internet --> Outer Firewall --> DMZ --> Inner Firewall --> LAN or this: internet --> Firewall --> LAN --> DMZ which are the setups that I've seen. Can you give some justification/explanation on why you think that would be better?
