service (or port number), the Gateway can route the request
to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address).
This secures your network from direct attack by hackers,

zUser-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel
You can define special applications that require multiple
connections such as videoconferencing, Internet gaming,
and Internet telephony. The Gateway can then sense the
application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it.
zDMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the
