This has been brought forward a couple of times in the past, but as it stands= , the networking code is way too complicated to add more zones. It has not be= en written to be easily extended and therefore adding another zone would be a= lot of pain. There is literally no sense in adding another zone that does not have any of = the other features, like 100% firewall support, DHCP, proxy, and what else th= ere is. We should not add second-class zones. Instead we should look at rewri= ting all networking and then build on top of that.
