Virtual multi-homing allows you to use DNS names from different domains (for example

DNS Names:
test.com
sales.com
apps.com
Virtual multi-homing cannot be used with SSL. You should use this configuration with resources
that need to be protected, but the information exchanged should be public information that does not
need to be secure. For example, you could use this configuration to protect your Web servers that
contain the catalog of your shipping products. It isn't until the user selects to order a product that
you need to switch the user to a secure site.
Whether a client can use one DNS name or multiple DNS names to access the Access Gateway
depends upon the configuration of your DNS server. After you have configured your DNS server to
allow multiple names to resolve to the same IP address, you are ready to configure the Access
Gateway.
