I'm looking into different ways to connect an Internet connected machine to a local network while still preserving the security of the internal network to some degree. I am not very familiar with virtual host aliases, but I'm trying to understand. If I had a real ip address, and an alias ip address assigned to one interface, will it work the same way as would a dualhomed machine with two interface cards? Could I have an alias to my internal network, which would allow the Internet connected machine to communicate with an internal server, but that would not allow traffic from the Internet to reach the internal network (unless someone gained access to the internet connected machine?).
