Siebel Security Hardening Guide > Securing the Network and Infrastructure > About Securing the Network Infrastructure > Load BalancersYou can balance loads on your Siebel Servers using native Siebel load balancing or a third-party HTTP load balancer. Using HTTP load balancing distributes incoming network traffic over several servers. A third-party load balancer typically can provide additional security features, such as limiting TCP port exposure to a single port for multiple Siebel Servers. Single-port exposure allows you to consolidate network access for better port monitoring and security. It also provides simplified firewall configuration. You have to configure only one virtual port. Additional security features provided by most third-party load balancers include:
When installing Siebel Business Applications, if you are using Siebel Server or third-party HTTP load balancers, then plan the use of TCP ports for firewall access:
