No, you said it was the TRUE definition. That's true, which comes from "faithful"- and indeed yours isn't the faithful definition, it's the popular one. > you're doing at this point is proving my point.

We generally call the network that the external interface of the firewall is plugged in to "outside the firewall," perhaps you're redefining "outside" as well?

That was a typo, it's supposed to be "aren't"- the currently canonical example being in Korea. DMZ's are typically in *front* of defensive positions, defensive positions being military by definition (you DO know what DMZ stands for don't you?) > Show me where I said the "only" definition was mine.

Note the use of the word "true"- in case you missed it, other words that go with "true" are "faithful," "accurate," and "strict."

Clearly, I'm significantly older than *you* think I am People my age and older generally use the term "true" in a manner that doesn't fit with your use of the term. If you've been doing this longer then I have, then I feel sorry for your users. Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
