Explanation

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment that sits between the public Internet and the private internal network, typically enforced by firewall rules. Servers placed in the DMZ are reachable from the Internet (e.g., web, email servers) but are isolated from the internal LAN. If an attacker compromises a DMZ server, they cannot directly reach internal resources. NAT hides internal IPs but does not provide isolation for public-facing servers. DHCP scope settings manage IP addressing, not network segmentation.
