This came from http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/today.nsf/62f62847467a8f78052568a80055b380/e7e0ccb4e059f077852566500055951c?OpenDocument
We are using Domino 6.53 for this, yet paragraph #1 is not working as it explains. It’s acting like paragraph #2, as if we’re accessing a pre-R5 server.
Anyone have any ideas? I know I’ve posted several things on this topic, but if the web servers sitting behind the ICM can’t generate URLs which reference the ICM then the ICM is not a very useful piece.
The ICM can direct a client request to any server in a cluster, whether it is an R5 server or a server using a prior release of Domino. Only R5 servers can exploit the ICM by generating URLs that reference the ICM. When an R5 server receives a client request, the server generates URLs that include ICM references. As the user selects URLs that contain these references, the ICM is able to workload balance and failover the user to an appropriate server.
If the ICM redirects the client request to a server running a previous release of Domino, the URLs the server generates will not contain references to the ICM. As the client moves between Web pages, the client continues to access pages on that same server only. To take advantage of the ICM at that point, the user must overtly select a URL that contains a reference to the ICM.
