We are using that option for security reasons (the IC machine has
exactly two logins whereas the webserver is shared) and load balancing
reasons (the webserver is mirrored ad nauseum whereas the IC machine
is standalone for now). Exactly as stated ... the socket is on the
webserver and IC listens over TCP/IP. Make sure you use tlink and not
vlink. Works fine.
