A ___ is a computer that lies inside the DMZ and may host mail, web, DNS services.
bastion host
hardened host
Any of these
A bastion host is capable of hosting such services and it lies in the DMZ. These do not share credentials with the trusted computers on the internal network so that if a bastion host is compromised, the internal resources are still secure. Bastion Hosts are typically used to relay secure access to internal or DMZ hosts. I have never seen anyone put application servers on a Bastion host since those hosts will have different records DNS records and most bastion hosts do not have DNS records. Updated the correct answer. The terminology "hardened host" is not independent of bastion hosts, and does not specify a class of host with different characteristics. Hardening is a general process for any system. Contrary to prior indications, it is highly unlikely if not impossible that every system to have been hardened will take on the role of bastion host, which makes "any of these" a rather pointless answer.
