Figure 27.10 Configuring multiple routers.

In both scenarios, the router that is immediate to the internet connection (Router 2 in illustration) must act as a "bridge" to another router (Router 1 in illustration). The Auto Port Forwarding Wizard must connect to Router 1.

A proper DMZ configuration in Router 2 allows all incoming traffic going through Router 2 to automatically pass to Router 1. Router 2 acts as a "dummy" router and passes all the incoming data onto Router 1. Router 1 is the router that needs the port forwarding information.
