Selected Answers: A


Forwarding (IP) virtual servers are usually configured to listen on "all ports" (Port: * or 0). If an administrator creates a forwarding VS that opens all ports for the convenience of accessing HTTP, then other service ports of the target address (such as SSH, Telnet, FTP, etc.) will also be inadvertently allowed to pass through. This can pose security risks.
