dual-homed
yes, if it has two or more network interfaces. But why would you? Waste of a server....
firewall
Network architecture is a broad plan that specifies everything necessary for two application programs on different networks on an Internet to be able to work together effectively.
-Programmed services and protocols that move the messages across the network -Technologies that support network communications
That sounds like a firewall.

A screened host set up has single network interface and a dual-homed host setup has two network interfaces
People use servers for such purposes. The server should have at least two network interfaces. Using DHCP server options you can connect two and more networks together.
A strong and upgraded firewall protection acts as a virtual barrier that defends external and internal damages from cyber attacks. Installing a powerful firewall protection on your system or network, provides you low-level protection against malware, identity theft or other cyber attacks along with the login and auditing procedures. There are several forms of firewall, each having their own specific functions to perform. Broadly, firewalls are of two types- host-based and network based. A host-based firewall protection is installed on the user's computer or server to monitor the incoming and outgoing signals. On the other hand, a network-based firewall is installed over a network or cloud's infrastructure to control and protect the data being transmitted from one host to another on a network. A network-based firewall is also referred as a virtual firewall service.
One advantage of a two-firewall configuration is added defense-in-depth. With two firewalls, an attacker would need to bypass both firewalls to gain access to the network, providing an extra layer of protection. This can be especially useful in protecting against advanced attacks or minimizing the impact of a firewall compromise.
