Network Terminology

A Virtual Farm includes the WebMux™ setup and the servers under it.

Functionally, it acts as a single unit on a network. For example,

http://www.you.com is one virtual server farm; https://www.me.com is another

farm, and ftp://ftp.cainetworks.com is the third farm. The first farm works on a set

of servers on port 80, the second farm consists of another set of servers on port

443, and the third farm works on a set of servers on port 21. Please note that the

WebMux™ does support combining 80/443 ports as one single farm, so that

same client browsing the site in HTTP mode will be send to the same server for

HTTPS requests. In the combined mode, ports 80/443 will be combined into one

farm.
