How does Public IPs vs DMZ IPs affect SEO if at all?

[wrttnwrd]

As long as your web site isn't hosted inside the DMZ it shouldn't have any huge effect.

There is one way a DMZ can affect SEO: If you have lots of folks at your office, all using the same shared public IP via a DMZ or other forwarding, and you all use a tool like the SEO Toolbar, you could start seeing CAPTCHA warnings from Google.

Oh, and if you are hosting your site inside a DMZ and haven't tunneled/forwarded it to its own, separate public IP, you should.

I can't say exactly why, but it's an unnecessary level of complexity that just makes my eye twitch a little bit.
