Overview
A reverse proxy server intercepts client requests to Lotus Connections servers and, when possible, returns cached data rather than contacting the true destination server. A reverse proxy reduces the amount of traffic that a back-end server must perform to satisfy duplicate requests for data, while at the same time improving the response time for those requests.
You can set up a reverse proxy by using WebSphere Application Server Edge components (formerly Edge Server). Edge components can control client access to Web servers and improve access to Web-based content over the Internet or a corporate intranet.
Infrastructure
The topology in this deployment uses a cluster of Lotus Connections servers connected to a remote HTTP server, a remote database server, and a remote LDAP server. These are deployed in a private network behind a firewall. Client request are intercepted and handled by the transparent proxy server. Users are not aware that a proxy exists in the configuration.This deployment was tested on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 platform. The following figure illustrates the topology used in this deployment:
