A vendor can use the non-transparent Redundancy features to create a Server proxy running on the Client machine to provide transparent Redundancy to the Client. This reduces the amount of functionality that needs to be designed into the Client and to enable simpler Clients to take advantage of non-transparent Redundancy. The Server proxy simply duplicates Subscriptions and modifications to Subscriptions, by passing the calls on to both Servers, but only enabling publishing and sampling on one Server. When the proxy detects a failure, it enables publishing and/or sampling on the backup Server, just as the Client would if it were a Redundancy aware Client.
Figure 33 shows the Server proxy used to provide transparent Redundancy.
