Domain-based multi-homing has the following characteristics:
If you are using SSL, the back-end servers can all listen on the same SSL port (the default for
HTTPS is 443).
If you are using SSL, the back-end servers can share the same SSL certificate. Instead of using
a specific hostname in the SSL certificate, the certificate can use a wildcard name such as
*.company.com
Before configuring the Access Gateway, you need to complete the following:
Create the published DNS names with a common domain name for public access to the back-
end resources. For example, the table below lists three DNS names that use
common domain name, lists the IP address that these DNS names resolve to, and the Web
servers they protect.
Published DNS Name
test.company.com
sales.company.com
apps.company.com
Configure your DNS server to resolve the published DNS names to the IP address of the
Access Gateway.
