virtual IP address Last modified: Monday, April 30, 2007
Abbreviated as VIPA, a virtual IP address is an IP address that is shared among multiple domain names or multiple servers. A virtual IP address eliminates a host's dependency upon individual network interfaces. Incoming packets are sent to the system's VIPA address, but all packets travel through the real network interfaces.
