5.8.1 Virtual Servers

Choose menu “Forwarding → Virtual Servers”, and then you can view and add virtual servers in the screen as shown in Figure 5-27.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.
