System architecture for DMZ external IP addresses

A method for enhancing data security comprising:

• receiving, with at least one processor, a request for an e-commerce service from a host of an external network;
• receiving, with at least one processor, a request to offload processing from a first demilitarized zone (DMZ), wherein the request to offload processing is associated with offloading processing of the request for the e-commerce service from the host of the external network;
• communicating, with at least one processor, a domain name system (DNS) request for a hostname corresponding to the host of the external network to a host of a data environment based on receiving the request to offload processing from the first DMZ;
• allocating, with at least one processor, an internet protocol (IP) address of a second DMZ based on the DNS request;
• mapping, with at least one processor, an allocated IP address of the second DMZ to an IP address of the host of the external network;
• communicating, with at least one processor, data associated with the request for the e-commerce service to the second DMZ;
• and
• communicating, with at least one processor, data associated with the request for the e-commerce service to the host of the external network after the first DMZ receives the data associated with the request for the e-commerce service from the host of the data environment.

A computer program product for enhancing data security, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a domain name system (DNS) request for a hostname corresponding to a host of an external network from a host of a data environment;
• allocate an internet protocol (IP) address of a demilitarized zone (DMZ) in response to receiving the DNS request;
• determine an IP address of the host of the external network from the hostname;
• map the allocated IP address of the DMZ to the determined IP address of the host of the external network;
• return the allocated IP address of the DMZ to the host of the data environment in response to the DNS request;
• and
• communicate data associated with a request for an e-commerce service to the host of the external network based on data associated with the request for the e-commerce service received from the host of the data environment.
