Virtual Server & Server Load Balancing
Virtual Server is a method for single gateway machine to act as multiple servers while the real servers sit inside
corporate network to process requests passed in from the gateway machine. Inbound traffic does not have to know
where the real servers are, or whether there are just one or many servers. This method prevents direct access by users
and therefore increases security and flexibility.
