The reason I have a captive portal enabled in the DMZ is because it is being 
used as a public hotspot for wi-fi internet access.  My LAN is only used for 
my employees so I have no need for a portal in there.  Obviously, I needed 
an area to put the hotspot so that it was off my LAN and the DMZ seemed to 
be like the best logical place.  I am wanting to add a few servers into the 
DMZ now (i.e. web, dns, mail, etc...).

It will probably make more sense now to add another NIC to the box setting 
up a second DMZ for the servers...
