Evening, does anyone know if these devices have DMZ capability?

Yes they do, they are also known as exposed hosts on symantec routers. Very nice routers as well. Am looking at getting one of the 100 series myself.

Boo! but it doesnt allow the ability to assign a seperate IP address for the interface.
The watchguard fireboxes allow an individual interface to be assigned an IP creating a completly seperate DMZ, by default it denys all traffic between the trusted and the DMZ interfaces.

ahhh so you wanted to seperate each port on the router?

Yeah, not too secure otherwise, even if it is routed through another box seperate to other subnets, i want total isolation, that being said it can be done with routers but at a much higher overhead.

If you do a search for "Watchguard Firebox 700 or 1000" youll soon find what your after, but there arnt cheap even though both models have been replaced with newer versions, there are a few kicking arround on e-bay though. Expect to be paying £150+
