Configuring for Path-Based Multi-Homing
Before configuring the Access Gateway, you need to complete the following:
Create the published DNS names with paths for public access to the back-end resources. For
example, the table below uses test.com as the domain name. It lists three published DNS names
(two with paths), the IP address these names resolve to, and the Web servers that they are going
to protect:
Published DNS Name
test.com
test.com/sales
test.com/apps
Configure your DNS server to resolve the published DNS names to the IP address of the
Access Gateway.
Set up the back-end Web servers. If they have links to each other, set up DNS names for the
Web servers.
To create a path-based multi-homing proxy service, see
Service," on page
160, and select path-based for the multi-homing type.
6.2.3 Virtual Multi-Homing
Virtual multi-homing allows you to use DNS names from different domains (for example test.com
and sales.com). Each of these domain names must resolve to the Access Gateway host.
