Windows 2000 Creates SMTP Virtual Server

IIS-based Windows 2000 computers set up multiple domain names, which allows a single server to appear on multiple servers, and those added servers are called virtual servers. Traditionally, each domain name, such as www.kb.com, represents a separate server system, but now it is possible to have a single system appear only as a basic server, and as a server for different departments of the company. Appears, for example, photo.kb.com, author.kb.com publish.kb.com, etc. It is not necessary to use a different computer for each domain name. Thus, for Internet users, it appears that there are multiple computers, but only one copy of the Web service on one computer is running.
