Interesting, I hadn't heard that.  If the wild & wooly Internet is
called "The Wild", perhaps a less-protected [wilderness area?] leg of a
firewall could be called a "Zoo"?  [I tend to write with Pens ;-).]  A
firewall could have several protected legs, a "Wild" leg to the
Internet, and several "Zoo" legs with different and lesser protections.

Or perhaps "Wilderness Preserves" ...

This has not been an entirely serious suggestion.  Use it at your own
risk.  ;-)
