10-6 User’s Reference Guide

exported, you can have Web servers on two different IP hosts.

If you will be using multiple Connection Profiles, define the remote IP address of the most accessible profile, such as that for your ISP, to the default IP gateway in the TCP/IP settings on users’ workstations. That way, IP traffic not intended specifically for any of the remote networks will be routed through this “preferred” profile.

Associate your primary Domain Name Server (DNS) with whichever profile is more accessible. If you choose for neither profile to be “dial-on-demand”, you may associate a secondary DNS with the other profile. See “IP setup,” below, for more information on these settings.
