Network Address Translation

Network Address Translation rewrites the IP addresses of Internet connections as they cross the firewall boundary, thereby preventing direct access between the internal network and external networks, such as the Internet and partner networks.

Implement Network Address Translation on zone border security devices between the Web client and the Web server, and between the Web server and the Siebel Server.
