Does anyone know of any security risks of opening port 80 to a host on our local network using static nat vs putting it into the dmz?
Thanks,

By placing the http server in you internal network you become extremely vulnerable in case your http server becomes compromised (which is not so unlikely as might seem). By placing it on a dedicated DMZ network, you will be able to prevent other systems being attacked.

Don't use the static command from user in your inside network. if you have to open port 80 put it in the DMZ.
Hope it help
