0Why should servers be placed in the DMZ?
Answer Options
A
To allow unrestricted access by Internet clients
B
To allow access to the Internet and the internal network
C
To allow the server to access the Internet
D
To restrict the server to the Internet
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Servers should be placed in the DMZ so they can access both the inside zone and the outside zone. This will allow a server, such as a web server, to allow client access from the web (outside). Rules could also be applied so that the server (e.g., a database server) could allow access to data from within the internal network (inside). Placing the servers into the DMZ will give you the flexibility to apply rules for external access on the Internet and rules for internal access on the internal network.
