I have enjoyed the conversation about defining a DMZ, but
I need help with what the area between E1 and E2 is
called? How about between E2 and X?

Is this what is referred to as a double DMZ?

Setup A:

     IN <----> E1 <----> E2 <-----> X <---> CN
                         !
                         WS


The Web server is located on a "dirty" network


Setup B:

     IN <----> E1 <-+--> E2 <-----> X <---> CN
                    !
                    WS

The Web server is located in the first DMZ
