Consider the following network:
Figure 6-6 Basic Virtual Port to Real Port Mapping Configuration
In this example, four real servers are used to support a single service (HTTP). Clients access
this service through a virtual server with IP address 192.168.2.100 on virtual port 80. Since
each real server uses two ports (8001 and 8002) for HTTP services, the logical real servers are:
n 192.168.2.1/8001
n 192.168.2.1/8002
n 192.168.2.2/8001
n 192.168.2.2/8002
n 192.168.2.3/8001
n 192.168.2.3/8002
n 192.168.2.4/8001
n 192.168.2.4/8002
