Re: ESXi and DMZ

I'd go with option 1.

Some reasons:

  • with a separate vSwitch for the DMZ connected to a dedicated DMZ switch the VM has no network connection to the production system
  • if you have a vSphere Cluster you can provide high availability for the DMZ virtual machine
  • you can place the VM on your production storage system, since the VM doesn't "see" it's physical storage
  • you can safely include the VM in your backup (assuming you are running an image based backup)
  • no need for a dedicated host (hardware, power and cooling savings)
