Hi,
a bastion host is part of a firewall-concept. So all traffic to and from the
Internet has to pass this machine.
A bastion host is an Application Level Gateway (proxy), protected by two packet
filters: one to the Internet, one to the Intranet.
If someone wants to surf the Internet, he sends his requests and the proxy will
get him the data from the outside.
Hope it helps,
best regards
Matthias
