You cannot apply SNC protection to the communication path between your application servers and your database. Therefore, we recommend that you keep your application and database servers in a secured LAN that is protected with a firewall and SAProuter (see the following figure).
You can also use SNC between two SAProuters to build a secure tunnel between networks (see the following figure).
