- 9. 9 © 2014 IBM Corporation Hybrid Customer Flow In Brief three main components for on-premise hybrid configuration is On-premise passthru server : The Domino server used as the on-premises passthru server to allow SmartCloud Notes to connect to other on-prem servers. All connections from hosted SmartCloud Notes servers to on-premises servers are directed through an IBM Domino Passthru server to ensure secure connections On-premise mail gateway server : SmartCloud Notes servers and on-premises IBM Domino servers route mail to each other. You can have one or more IBM Domino servers to use as the on-premises mail routing server On-premise Directory server :The IBM Domino server used for on-premises domain administration, directory replication. As this server replicates with the service, it is often called the primary directory synchronization server.
