Split DNS with Reverse Proxy Configuration
For security requirements, it may be necessary to configure a separate reverse proxy system to respond to Windchill requests for external users and to direct internal users directly to the Windchill system. Split DNS can be used to accomplish this goal.

DNS experts can be consulted to determine how best to fit this requirement. Split DNS can generally be accomplished in either of the following ways:
Using multiple DNS servers
Using access rules within a DNS server
