Though the webMethods Broker systems restricts a Broker to membership in more than one territory at a time, you can configure a territory gateway to enable event forwarding between different territories. A Broker may act as a gateway to a single territory or to multiple territories.

The next figure shows a territory gateway between Broker_1 and Broker_2 that effectively joins the two territories. The territory gateway allows an event published by a client program connected to Broker_1, a member of territory A, to be forwarded through the territory gateway and be received by a client program connected to Broker_3, a member of territory B.
