What should the area behind the firewall off of the third NIC with a  
lighter security policy be called??  Well, in keeping with the cool 
vietnam war throwback terms, I would suggest "holding pen" or maybe even 
"most of you could define different policies behind the firewall based 
on IP, and not on subnet, and are therefore wasting a perfectly good 
NIC".  Not all, but most.


A lot of people just call it a service network.
