When two HCL Domino® servers both have direct, constant connections to the Internet, each can use the IP address of the other to contact it as though both servers were on the same LAN.

About this task

To define the connections between the two, you create a LAN connection document. However, when a server is connected through a proxy server, rather than having a direct connection, after you create a LAN connection document to define the connection, you must complete the proxy information in the Server document of the calling server as described in the following procedure:

Note: By default, if the server is configured to use a proxy, it uses the proxy for all connections. To prevent use of the proxy for connections to certain servers, enter the server names in the No Proxy for these hosts or domains field on the Ports -> Proxies tab on the server document.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configurations tab and expand the Server view.

2. Select the Server document of the server to connect to the Internet through the proxy, and click Edit Server.

3. Click the Ports -> Proxies tab and then do one of the following:

• To connect through an HTTP proxy, in the HTTP Tunnel proxy field, enter the proxy's fully-qualified domain name or IP address and specify the port to use for the connection. For example, enter httpproxy.company.com:8080 or 192.168.77.34:8080.
• To connect through a SOCKS proxy, in the SOCKS proxy field, enter the proxy's fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the SOCKS proxy and specify the port to use for the connection. For example, enter socks.company.com:1080 or 192.168.77.34:1080.

  Note: If you enter values for both fields, Domino uses the HTTP Tunnel proxy.
