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.
