VMware ESX

Hi forum,

we've got a VMware ESX group of servers running on the inside of our network. 
Our server team want to extend this to include some DMZ servers. How vulnerable 
would this leave the internal network ? Am I correct in thinking that if the 
VMware cluster was hacked, this would give them access to the internal network
