No, it is not. The only related restriction is that the bench must be
set up in either of the two modes:
1) "transparent" redirection
(robots think they talk directly to servers)
2) explicit proxying with a single proxy IP address
(robots send requests to that IP address)
One can, for example, do L4 load balancing among several proxies. A
proxy working as a router with two NICs on different subnets is also
possible. There are lots of other options, of course. IIRC, several
publicly tested products had configuration other that a "single port".
If you have some complicated/unusual setup in mind, it is always a good
idea to let Polyteam know in advance, to avoid rules misinterpretation,
etc.
