Preventing DMZ machines initiating connections to Internet

Is there a way to create a rule that allows servers in the DMZ to receive external traffic, but not initiate traffic? The rule would be to prevent launching attacks by someone who has hacked into a DMZ server.

This should be there by default since I believe everything is already blocked. If you don't add a rule letting them start connections then they shouldn't be able to start connections.

Thanks,

That makes sense. However, if I create a rule that drops & logs outbound DMZ traffic (initiated from the DMZ), will it block established traffic originating from the internet?
