Using a Redirect Server as a Partition Host

It is possible for a redirect server to also host one or more partitions. You do this by listing the redirect server instance in the redirect.partitions file or as a value for the iim_server.redirect.to parameter. However, you should not make more than one redirect server a partition host because unsynchronized redirect.partitions files may cause redirection loops.
