Virtual Server is a kind of technology which enables a computer within a local area network

(LAN) to receive specialized packets from network, for example, when you need to make a

host into an FTP server or Web server for outside user to access. Virtual DMZ is quite similar

to Virtual Server, but it allows all incoming data packets instead of using policy to filter the

packets.
