Jim, as I understand it yes. The router should forward to your pc in the DMZ
all traffic that it does not otherwise have a rule for. This does mean that
if you (say) had a rule to forward port 80 (http) to some other pc then your
pc in the DMZ wouldn't be forwarded traffic on that port. So if you do want
to do a test then make sure you don't have any rules that might be
forwarding on the ports you require.
Hope this helps.
