Network Terminology

A Virtual Farm includes the WebMux setup and the servers under it.

Functionally, it acts as a single unit on a network. For example,

http://www.cainetworks.com is one virtual server farm;

https://www.cainetworks.com is another farm, and ftp://ftp.cainetworks.com is the

third farm. The first farm works on a set of servers on port 80, the second farm

consists of another set of servers on port 443, and the third farm works on a set

of servers on port 21. Please note WebMux does support combining 80/443

ports as one single farm, so that same client browsing the site in HTTP mode will

be send to the same server for HTTPS requests. In the combined mode, ports

80/443 will be combined into one farm.
