<div>Neat. Though I haven't worked through the intricacies of where this could be beneficial over "no port translate", though it does appear a bit more explicit as far as reading the config.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regardless, the command only allows for one real-port assignment. What I've got is something along these lines:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>server real host1 x.x.x.y</div>
<div> port 8600</div>
<div> </div>
<div>server real host2 x.x.x.x</div>
<div> port 8505</div>
<div> port 8506</div>
<div> port 8507</div>
<div> </div>
<div>server virtual virt1 z.z.z.b</div>
<div> port 6000</div>
<div> <csw-policy stuff here></div>
<div> bind 6000 host1 8600</div>
<div> </div>
<div>server virtual virt2 z.z.z.a</div>
<div> port 7000</div>
<div> <csw-policy stuff here></div>
<div> bind 7000 host2 8505 host2 8506 host2 8507</div>
<div> <*** want to get something eqiv. to "bind 7000 host1 8600" ***></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've got a couple of Foundry guys working on this, though they haven't gotten to an "a-HA!" moment yet. I don't have a lot of faith at this point.</div>
