Configuring Virtual Hosting
Virtual hosting allows you to define host names that servers or clusters respond to.
When you use virtual hosting you use DNS to specify one or more host names that map
to the IP address of a WebLogic Server or cluster and you specify which Web
Applications are served by the virtual host. When used in a cluster, load balancing
allows the most efficient use of your hardware, even if one of the DNS host names
processes more requests than the others.
