Server mapping is needed to map one recorded host to another one or more actual hosts. Recorded-host is the hostname as recorded at the time of session recording. Recorded and Actual hosts names are specified in the format hostname: port.
For example, 10.10.30.7:81
A special character, dash (-) can be used as a placeholder to specify the server location as the default server location. For example: rediff.com
