Hi Artem,

Convenient yes but it also violates the prime security directive here. If 
the security need is to keep servers separate then allowing even one to be 
shared destroys the whole structure (the weakest link phenomena). The 
security team here doesn't like wall paper security. So if you're going to 
violate the security policy then overtly do so. This, of course, is not to 
say there may be non-security reasons for doing this. Anyway, no you will 
need to run two redirectors to keep the server pools truly separate.

Andy
