4.3 Virtual Server
Virtual Server is a feature to make your intranet (LAN) servers available to the
Internet (WAN). Because the private IP addresses assigned to the intranet servers
are invisible to the external environment. If you wish to make these services
(provided on the servers) accessible to outsiders, you must tell BR-6641 to redirect
these external requests to the right servers in the LAN or DMZ. Whenever an
external request arrives at BR-6641, BR-6641 will look up the Virtual Server table
and redirect the packet right to the corresponding server in the LAN or DMZ.
You can use this function to respond to the outside request with the server in the
LAN or DMZ, when you don’t want the private IP address to be public.
