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 configured as a
virtual server must have a static or a reserved IP address because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.
