For VCs with single IP, they share the same DMZ and Virtual servers; for VCs with multiple IPs,
each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Furthermore, for VCs with multiple IPs, they can define
the Address Mapping rules; for VCs with single IP, since they have only one IP, there is no need
to individually define the Address Mapping rule.

Choose “Advanced SetupNATDMZ” in Figure 4-18, you can configure the DMZ host in the
next screen. A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a host between a private local network and the outside
