WE DO! Well, it seems to test fine anyway and I just released it back to the users. (Gulp) The tips people sent were helpful to steer us in the right direction. Especially the ones about /etc/hosts and IP-Name. So, yes, a load balancer with 1 Remedy server behind and midtier outside can work w/ portmapper setup with a million IPs and Hosts to juggle. Users have a new URL to launch but the old one directs to the new; new popups needed. Users don't have to change their desktop resources at all with existing Remedy server names all over the place. And, it mostly follows the security goals intended as far as I can tell. Have a nice weekend.
