Why there're two servers in http HEAD request?


Hello!

I use Ubuntu Desktop's terminal where I type the following command:

HEAD [sitename.com...] HTTP/1.1

In the reply I see one server, say, for Google it could be gws or most of the time it's nginx and then below that, there's Apache. How come there're 2 of them for one site?

It could be for load balancing.
