1. A method of processing network packets comprising:

  • receiving a network packet at a network management system, said network packet corresponding to a connection between a first computer having a first destination IP address in a first network and a second computer on a second network that is external to the first network;

    determining, using the network management system, whether the connection poses a security risk based at least in part on content associated with the network packet; and

    translating the network packet to a second destination IP address different than the first destination IP destination address based at least on said determination that the connection poses a security risk, thereby hiding the first IP address from the second computer.
