Thanks Leythos,
For what I'm trying to do I could add a wireless access point to the
trusted zone... but the other wireless zone isn't exactly the same as
DMZ I'd need a seperate zone for this. That's 4 zones in total.
I had a look at the D-Link documentation but could determine how many
zones it supported.
I'm not sure I'd go for a watchguard... I used a watchguard SOHO a few
years ago and was pretty disappointed.
