# Example configuration
This example configures synchronization through a proxy and uses two endpoints consisting of a PingDirectoryProxy server with a backend set of PingDirectory servers. Both sets are replicated.
The PingDirectoryProxy server uses an entry-balancing environment for the distinguished name (DN) *(tooltip: \
\
A name uniquely identifying an object within the hierarchy of a directory tree.\
\
)* `ou=People,dc=example,dc=com` and provides a subtree view for `dc=example,dc=com` in its client connection policy. For this example, communication is over standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) *(tooltip: \
\
An open, cross platform protocol used for interacting with directory services.\
\
)* and failover servers are not installed or designated in PingDataSync.
