owners are going to be unbound.

Step 2

A confirmation or an error message window may display depending on the

Creating LocalDirector Real or Virtual Servers

For the LocalDirector devices, a virtual server presents a single IP address that 

represents a group of real servers. Service requests to the virtual server are load 

balanced among the real servers. Real servers are actual host servers with unique 

IP addresses that provide TCP/IP services to the network. The virtual server IP 

address is published to your network community, but the real server IP addresses 

can remain unpublished, so that you can hide actual site implementation details 

and provide single points of contact for users.

Note

Your login determines whether you can use this option.
