Abstract: A system and method are provided for securing a service providers hosts such that unauthorized access to the hosts is prevented. The system allows the service provider's hosts to be logically and physically located at convenient spots within the service provider's private network. User's can be located anywhere within a global public network such as the Internet. The system uses a first server coupled to the first network in which the first server receives a session establishment request from the user terminal and generates a connection request in response to the session establishment request. A second server coupled to the first server and the second network receives the connection request and establishes communications with the host in accordance with the connection request. The second server initiates communications by establishing a communication control session with the first server before the first server will send the connection request to the second server.
