I'm hoping for a high level discussion of this problem I know is quickly approaching my application.

I have a server that binds on a specific port and manages TCP Sockets from my clients. I know that it is common practice to use VMWare to virtualize servers and run multiple servers at once.

How can a single server design be changed to support multiple servers?

Multiple servers can't bind to the same port. If I had to guess I would say a proxy server binds to the port and then sends connections off to the other servers to be handled as if it was still a single server application.

I'm wondering what options there are and what are the common practices for solving this problem?

Thanks in advance!
