Configuring Internal Clients

When Internet Server establishes connections to internal servers, the TCP connection uses the IP address of the Internet Server. Therefore the internal server detects that the Internet Server initiated the connection request. When using Connection Manager, the CMS initiates the TCP connection to the internal server. The internal server detects that the CMS initiates the connection request. So whenever an internal server is configured to accept connections from a particular IP address, you must configure the CMS IP Address, and not the Internet Server IP address.
