Explanation

A dual-homed host is one of the firewall architectures for implementing preventive security. It provides the first-line defense and protection technology for keeping untrusted bodies from compromising information security by violating trusted network space as shown in the image below: A dual-homed host (or bastion host) is a system fortified with two network interfaces (NICs) that sits between an un-trusted network (like the Internet) and trusted network (such as a corporate network) to provide secure access. Dual-homed, or bastion, is a general term for proxies, gateways, firewalls, or any server that provides secured applications or services directly to an untrusted network.
