Saya copykan yang penting-2x saja ya.

I believe that DMZs can give you a false sense of security. If you do a
thorough assessment of your security architecture, you may well decide
you'd be better off just dumping it.
...
You can improve the security of your firewall by using a second firewall
to implement a back-to-back design, shown in Figure 2. With this design,
an external firewall controls the traffic between the Internet and the
DMZ. A separate internal firewall controls the flow of traffic between
the DMZ and the internal network. Using two firewalls eliminates the
single point of failure in the three-legged design. In a three-legged
design, a hacker who can bypass the firewall can gain access to the
internal network. With a back-to-back design, the internal firewall
protects the internal network even if hacker has managed to bypass the
external firewall. However, using two firewalls still doesn't solve the
fundamental problem of using port-based control of traffic between
security zones.

Why DMZs Don't Work
The DMZ concept relies on firewall rules that allow network traffic to
move between different security zones based on IP addresses and ports.
Some firewalls add inspection of application-layer filtering to the mix,
inspecting application protocols like HTTP. For communications between
the Internet and your publicly accessible servers, you have to rely on
addresses to define firewall rules; because there is currently no
technology that can reliably authenticate computers on the Internet, you
have no control over what's out there. A good security design
compensates for this lack of authentication by severely restricting and
carefully monitoring any traffic from the Internet, because you can't
trust any computer you don't control.

The problem with IP addresses is that they can lie. They're easily
spoofed, and logon requests to a domain controller that appear to
originate from your mail server's IP address may instead have come from
a computer that's been taken over by an attacker. Similarly, ports
aren't reliable indicators of the type of network traffic. For example,
port 80 is most often used for Web communications, but there's no
guarantee that it isn't used by an attacker to transfer confidential
data out of your internal network to a computer in the DMZ controlled by
this attacker.

When To Keep Your DMZ
While there are often good reasons to dump your DMZ, there are still
some situations where using one makes sense. The most common one is for
servers that accept connections from the Internet but don't need to
communicate with your internal network, such as a simple public Web
server. Also, if you're using simple protocols and require no computer
authentication, DMZs can provide the level of security you need. For
example, SMTP relay servers that send and receive e-mail messages but
don't store or process them are perfect candidates for placement in a DMZ.

Akan lebih baik MDaemon diletakkan (completely) dibelakang firewall atau
sejajar dengan firewall (menggunakan 2 NIC, natural firewall).
