Ah, I remember this from class. The internal router in a firewall is called the "trusted" router. It's the one that connects the secure internal network to the untrusted external network.

Okay, I've got this. The internal router in a firewall setup is known as the "perimeter" router. It acts as the boundary between the internal and external networks.

Hmm, this seems like a classic firewall configuration question. I think the term I'm looking for is "bastion host" or "demilitarized zone" router.
