How does Load Balancing works in an environment

Let say a company establishes a Web site with the URL of www.my2gosite.com. The Web site is mapped to the virtual IP address 192.16.44.1 configured in LB. All inquiries made to that Web site by users use either the URL or virtual IP address to reach the company's Web site.

Once these inquiries are received at the company site, the requests are handled by one of the  separate physical (real) Web servers which are mapped to the virtual IP address. The addresses of the physical (real) Web servers are unknown and unseen to those users who send the inquiries. The only address the users ever see for the Web site is the virtual IP address.


Users over Internet => Load Balancers => Webservers (Apache, OHS, IPlane..etct) => Application Servers (Weblogic, Websphere , Jboss..etc)
