2.6.2 Virtual Server
Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet
application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to
recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port
number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number. (See Glossary
for an explanation on Port number)
