Using NAT forwarding to forward traffic
Using Network Address Translation (NAT) Dispatcher capability removes the limitation for the backend servers to be located on a locally attached network.
Configuring collocated servers for the Dispatcher component
Load Balancer can reside on the same machine as a server for which it is load balancing requests. This is commonly referred to as collocating a server. It is supported on Linux and AIX only.
