Multiple Gateway Instances
Figure 5-13 shows an extension of the SRA basic configuration. Multiple Gateway
instances run on the same machine or multiple machines. You can start multiple
Gateway instances with different profiles. See Chapter 2, “Configuring the
Gateway,” in the Portal Server Secure Remote Access 6 Administration Guide for
details.
Figure 5-13 Multiple Gateway Instances
NOTE Although Figure 5-13 on page 115 shows a 1-to-1 correspondence
between the Gateway and the Portal Servers, this need not
necessarily be the case in a real deployment. You can have multiple
Gateway instances, and multiple Portal Server instances, and any
Gateway can contact any Portal Server depending on the
configuration.
