NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Server-to-server communication
If you add a second Notes network port for TCP/IP in order to isolate server-to-server communication -- for example, a private network for cluster replication -- list this port first in the NOTES.INI file so that server-to-server traffic will tend to occur over this connection, thus decreasing the data flow on the port for the user network. To change the port order in the NOTES.INI file, use the Port Setup dialog box.
Note If you are setting up a private cluster network and do not list the server port first, you can allow the use of other ports by entering this NOTES.INI setting in the server's NOTES.INI file:
Workstation-to-server communication
If a Domino server has a port for workstations to connect on -- for example, over a LAN -- and another port for servers to connect on -- for example, over a WAN -- list the workstation port first in the Server document so that users see only servers on the LAN when they choose File - Application - Open.
To reorder the ports in the Server document, click the Ports - Notes Network Ports tab, and edit the fields in the table.
