I've got a question that I can't recall ever being addressed here.
Using https gets you encrypted/secure communication between your
users' browsers and your web server. But what do you all typically
do to secure communications between your web server and your WO app
instances, especially when those instances are running on separate
hardware? Do you have a private network behind your web server
(i.e. between your web server and your WO servers)?
Ideally your app servers should be protected behind a firewall and
only directly accessible by your web server through an internal
network. If you do not trust the network between you web server and
your app server you could tunnel the traffic using something like
ipsec or openvpn.
