Answer / mohit

When you enter the URL, The URL is looked up in DNS to get
the IP address of the desired Host.

Now, on that host, client interacts with the desired
application using the application port.

Answer / mohit

Adding to my above post:

we reach Host using IP Address or fully-qualified domain name.

Now to interact with any application on that host we use port associated with that application.

Now as far as our web-applications are concern, they are hosted on the application servers which are running of some ports. That is why you are able to access your application hosted on weblogic by using <server ip address>:<server port>/<context root>

When you do not mention any port, by default it is treated as port 80.

You can have many application hosted on same host and each application on that host can be accessed using port assigned to that application.

Please remember, Weblogic server is also an application for hosting web-applications.

Answer / manjunath m

when you hit www.abc.com
it will nslookup the abc.com (check the IP )
basically the abc.com is the URL of the web-server. so it
will search in the Big-IP (Load Balancer) and pass the
request to the one of the web-server instance using some
methods (like Round Robin) and then it will go to
configuration path of the web-server (if it is apache it
will go to main.conf/jkmounts.conf) and then check the
JkMount(incase of JBoss appserver)/(weblogic handler
(incase of Weblogic App server)and then the request will go
to the application server instance which can be decided
through BigIp again ) and then it retrieves the responce in
the same path it goto back and gives the responce to user
