Hello Sherwin,

using NAT you can implement a "poor man " load balancer

see

or better for you :

Avoiding Server Overload Using Load Balancing: Example

In the following example, the goal is to define a virtual address, connections to which are distributed among a set of real hosts. The pool defines the addresses of the real hosts. The access list defines the virtual address. If a translation does not already exist, TCP packets from serial interface 0 (the outside interface) whose destination matches the access list are translated to an address from the pool.

ip nat pool real-hosts 192.168.15.2 192.168.15.15 prefix-length 28 type rotary

ip nat inside destination list 2 pool real-hosts

!

interface serial 0

ip address 192.168.15.129 255.255.255.240

ip nat outside

!

interface ethernet 0

ip address 192.168.15.17 255.255.255.240

ip nat inside

!

access-list 2 permit 192.168.15.1
