It is useful when you want to test Javascript code, for example
to test that your client-side validation is working properly,
or that your onclick handlers are working properly.

There are no restrictions: you can have the testing code
on one server, the selenium_server (which acts as a reverse-proxy
to the application under test) on another server and the
application under testing on a third server. Note that
the server where the testing code is run most be able to launch
a web browser. It is more convenient if testing code and
selenium_server are on the same machine, but this is not a
requirement.

P.S.: please note that you can not have multiple tests running
concurrently and using the same selenium_server
