IBCM Fall-Back Status Point work for Intranet too?
IBCM Fall-Back Status Point work for Intranet too?
I was curious, if I setup a fallback status point on my IBCM server can my intranet clients also use the same server or should I have a fallback status point in both my intranet and perimiter network?

The short answer is that yes, clients on the intranet can use a fallback status point in the perimeter network. If these clients move from the intranet to the Internet, and you want them to be able to communicate with a fallback status point when they are on the Internet - then you must assign the Internet-based fallback status point to them and they will continue to use it when they are on the intranet. If you have clients that are on the intranet only (are never on the Internet), then they could be assigned to the Internet-based fallback status point or to a fallback status point on the intranet.
What's important to remember is that clients can only be assigned to a single fallback status point, and that it accepts unauthenticated connections (so more vulnerable to attack if it accepts connections from the Internet).
