Now that I've figured out which port is which on the 4FE-66 (see my
previous post) basically everything is working as expected.

One new question about this is if my inside interface is a security
100 and my dmz is a security 50 and I have no ACL defined on the
inside interface, how come a ping from the inside to the a device on
the dmz does not work? The only ACLs on the inside are the implicit
rules any to any less secure and any any deny. Is it that I would need
to have an additional rule on the dmz to allow icmp from the inside to
the dmz?

Thank you for the help. If you can't tell, I know enough to be
dangerous, but certainly not enough to be a guru at this.
