Re: 2 firewalls protecting internal network

It depends... Firewall>>firewall>>network is useless, but firewall>>networksegment>>firewall>>networksegment has uses.

You can't think of it like a physical wall, where multiple walls increase protection. A firewall is simply a set of 
rules, what can pass and what cannot.
