Virtual Servers

This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet
users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:

• Your Server's IP address is only valid on your LAN, not on the Internet.
• Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in The Load Balancer.

The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your
servers, as illustrated below.

Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using
different protocols.
