Setting Up Services for Mobile Devices
Charles S. Edge, Chris Barker, Ehren Schwiebert · Apress eBooks · 2010
Mac OS X Server can act as a centralized server to allow your users to communicate with one another when they are not in the office. This includes two services. The first is Mobile Access, which allows a Mac OS X Server acting as a proxy to be placed into a demilitarized zone in your network environment. This device would then be exposed to potential threats from the outside world while also acting as a single point of contact for clients to access your collaborative servers when they are outside your network environment. The demilitarized zone is then the only point of contact with the outside world, and you can granularly configure controls between the hosts in your demilitarized zone and those on your internal network.
