Set up multi-homed servers

Best practices recommend installing Civic Platform using a multi-homed configuration with a physical connection between the host to multiple IP addresses (on the same or different networks). For multiple Accela products on a single physical server, the recommendation is to set up a multi-homed environment with multiple virtual IP addresses. Each Accela service requires a unique TCP/IPv4 address.
