Servers hosted externally

Hi,     Our servers are hosted externally and we will like to put a web accelerator in our company. With the servers externally located, can we accelerate those web servers?     ...

Hi Rex,

 

 

I use this setup every time to present WA capabilities. You just have to configure a route on WA to give it a path to join external server and use SNAT Automap feature on Virtual Server. This feature is similar as source NAT : request to original web server are sent with IP address of WA to ensure response will be processed by WA engine to provide acceleration feature (IBR, Multiconnect, Dynamic Caching, ...).

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

Regards,
