DMZ/Port Fowarding

DMZ is demilitarized zone, I believe you assign a specific IP/MAC to it and ALL ports are open. There are more advanced setups where you can demil certain ranges etc, but no......DMZ'ing is removing firewall restrictions.

 

Depending on the config in question, and usually as a default, if you forward a port to a specific machine it goes only to that machine. That's unsolicited incoming traffic though, like if you were running an FTP server on port 6588 and you mapped that port to said machine.

If a machine solicits a request on a specific port, the router should be smart enough to forward it to the right machine, no matter the port forwarding rule on said port. I believe this is usually called "Virtual Server" or something like that.
