virtual Server – DMZ host
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a “neutral
zone” between a company’s private network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from
getting direct access to a server that has company data. A DMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a
firewall and effectively acts as a proxy server as well.
