[ESRI software] An ArcIMS virtual server that offers functionality not directly accessible when creating a Web site. The functionality associated with each of the three private ArcIMS virtual servers (geocode server, query server, and extract server) is called from within a service created using a public virtual server. For example, if you incorporate an image service with a geocodable street network into a Web site with the Geocode tool, a client can access the geocode server’s functionality. The geocode virtual server works with the image virtual server to perform address matching and other geocoding functions.
