5.6.1 Virtual Servers
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 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 change when using
the DHCP function. You can set up virtual servers on this page, shown in
Figure 5-15:
