The company has a limited number of public IP addresses and wishes to assign them on a very
conservative basis. As a result, the company implements virtual hosting by advertising a single
virtual server IP address that includes both customers' Web sites. Additionally, the hosting
company assigns only one service (HTTP port 80) to support the virtual server.
The virtual hosting company wishes to maintain the flexibility to allow different types of con-
tent to be placed on different servers. To make most efficient use of their server resources, they
separate their servers into two groups, using their fastest servers to process dynamic content
(such as .cgi files) and their slower servers to process all static content (such as .jpg files).
