1. A method for enabling a server configured with a plurality of virtual servers to participate in a plurality of private network address spaces and service requests within those address spaces, the method comprising the steps of:

  • associating each virtual server with an IPspace;

    tagging each network interface with an IPspace identifier (ID);

    providing each virtual server with one or more routing tables that control routing operations for requests processed by the virtual server; and

    applying the IPspace ID to translation procedures that enable selection of a virtual server to process an incoming request, and an appropriate routing table used to process an outgoing request.
