Hi all, I have just taken out a lease on a dedicated web server and am beginning the process of learning about securing it and getting apache and php up and running.
I have executed an nmap scan of the IP addy that the host gave me and it produced the following results. Could someone please explain what the results for me:
Here I use a dummy/invented address space ip as an example and myhost.com as the domain for obvious reasons.
suppose I was given the IP 208.44.65.77
and so I executed nmap

First thing I don't understand is what is the meaning of resolving my IP as:

Host 180.200.44.100.reverse.myhost.com (208.44.65.77)

Is this how they have allocated my IP range via a firewall - ie is it within a DMZ or VPN or something to do with NAT?
I am on a steep learning curve but with a clear explanation of what is going on here I think I will catch on fast...
I appreciate any help offered.
Will
