DMZ and WAN interface

Couple of questions...


1) Are ethernet ports the only ports that can be associated with DMZ? When playing around with my SDM, I noticed that it would not allow me to use my serial ports as a DMZ port.

2) If you only have two interfaces, inside and outside. Can you create a VLAN on the inside interface, give it an SVI and call that the "virtual" DMZ?

In my eyes, DMZ is nothing more than a separate network, so can you just apply your "dmz" rules/policies to a VLAN instead?

If DMZ is more than just a separate network, please let me know fundamentally where I am wrong on this.


3) Can you have more than 1 DMZ port? And if so, is there a limit and is that even proper design to have multiple DMZ ports no matter how large scale the network is?
