Nope, thats not quite true. If you have 3 firewalls between two zones, then
of course the security is as weak as the strongest firewall, not as the
weakest. Just imagine to cut the wire at firewall 2... neighter firewall 1
nor firewall 3 can make it insecure... of course this is only true as long
as your firewalls dont trust each other.
