To configure an FTP site to handle requests sent to a virtual server, ensure that the FTP site is configured to listen to the IP address of the virtual server. You can do this by assigning an IP address to an FTP site. To configure a Web site to handle requests sent to a virtual server, ensure that the Web site is configured to listen to the IP address and/or name of the virtual server. The name of the virtual server can be used as the Host Header value for the Web site. You can do this by assigning an IP address and/or Host Header values to a Web site. |
