Introduction
There is often a need to route clients to certain network destination using a centralized server. The centralized server may be connected to the destination using a VPN (virtual private netword), RAS (Dial-up Netwok Connection) or using multiple network interfaces. The Relay Server provides a centralized method to "relay" clients to their destinations.
How does Relay Server Work ?
You can configure the relay server with multiple "relays". Each relay has the following properties
- Relay Name (a user friendly description)
- Listener Port (the port on the local computer)
- Host Address (the destination ip address/host name)
- Host Port (the destination port)
The clients then configure the client network application that needs to connect to the destination computer to use the relay server ip address on the configured relay port. The Relay Server then relays the client request to the destination server transparently to the client. The Relay Server can be configured to run multiple relays and each relay can accept connections from mutliple clients. The limitations is as follows :
- Each relay has to use a different Listener Port. The client network applications have to support using a different port or the Listener Port has to match the client network application's default port.
The features are as follows :
- You can configure multiple relays to run concurrently
- Each relay can accept connections from multiple clients
- View a list of all connected clients
- Able to terminate selected clients
- Enforce a time-out feature for clients
