# Set Up a Remote Answer System

You can configure Answer Server with remote answer systems, which refer to an answer system on a remote Answer Server.

For these systems, Answer Server forwards the `Ask` action to the remote server, and adds the results from the remote systems to the response. You can use this option when you have a large number of large answer systems to allow you to split your answer systems over multiple machines.

This section describes how to set up a remote answer system, and configure the details of the remote Answer Server.
