I have a WSE in a DMZ zone and want to use this as a source for WSE’s distributed throughout the enterprise. Must I be pushing the original stream into the DMZ WSE or is there a way I can pull the original stream and then republish it ?

Hello,

Typically you would use a .stream file to pull the source stream for distribution. Take a look at the following article for more information:
