b)Or assign Private IP Addresses to the DMZ network. And configure a Virtual Server entry to map a Global IP Address/Port to the Private DMZ Server IP Address/Port. Refer Virtual Server Configuration for more details.
c)Or assign Global IP Address to the DMZ network. And add a NAT Exception (i.e disable NAT) between WAN and DMZ.

2.4WAN Interface
This Interface is used for WAN Connectivity through an ISP. Typically ISPs support 3 modes of WAN Connectivity – Static, Dynamic and PPPoE. The WAN Interface configurations for these modes are explained in the following sections. These configurations are explained for WAN1 interface, and the same explanation holds good for WAN2 also.
Maximum Transmission Unit:
MTU (or Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest sized packet that can be transmitted through the internet. A higher MTU brings higher bandwidth efficiency. However large packets can block up a slow interface for some time, increasing the lag on other packets. Packets with sizes greater than the MTU will be fragmented by the router.
Caution: Follow the ISP’s advice on whether to change the default MTU value and what to change it to.
