APM requires that you specify an externally visible IP address for PCoIP client to connect to when it differs from virtual server IP address. (You set the IP address using the 'view.proxy_addr' session variable.)
This configuration is non-obvious and can lead to confusion.
VMware Horizon PCoIP client connects via a NAT (i.e., APM's externally visible IP address differs from the virtual server IP address).
Set the IP address using the 'view.proxy_addr' session variable.
Now, for PCoIP clients, which support name resolution, APM does not require explicit configuration of an externally visible IP address via the 'view.proxy_addr' session variable. Note: VMware Horizon clients for most platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS) except Linux, support name resolution.
