DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) - A computer or device on an internal protected network that is placed outside the firewall, but still available to the LAN. The advantage of a DMZ computer is it has all communicatons ports open and it can use any special aplication that communicates on non-standard ports, such as many VoIP programs and online games. The disadvantage is that the device might be vulnerable to attacks, not being protected by the firewall.

i think it's enough...

To add, a DMZ could be any network segment falling between 2 firewalls in a double NAT scenario for example.
