4.8.1 Virtual Servers

screen (shown in
Figure 4-30). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your
LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests
from the Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP.
Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its
IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.
