Isn't the DMZ a separate network segment? It should be....

Subject: Limiting DHCP

Hi all,

I've recently set up a wireless router in the DMZ on our firewall. This will 
allow consultants, salesmen, etc... to have a connection to the Internet when 
they come in, with no connection to our network.

Now, however, in order to take the final step in this process and be sure 
someone can't just plug into a network port, it would seem I need to do one of 
two things:

1) Stop our DHCP server and give all network devices (less than 50 or so) 
static IP's.

or

2) Restrict DHCP to only listed MAC addresses.

So, my questions are - which of these two would be easier (does it really make 
much difference?) or is there a third option I don't see?

Thanks, as always :)

Evan
