9.7 Configuring Server Group Properties

You can create groups of processing servers in your WebMarshal array.

You can configure different proxy connections and other settings for each group. You can also use Server Groups in rule matching to control which rules apply on each group. This feature allows you to localize configuration and rules for servers at different geographical or network locations.

You can customize the following settings for each Server Group:

•Local Address Table

•Ports and Authentication

•Internet Connection

•Proxy Bypass List

•Proxy Caching

•Email Notification settings

•Advanced settings (service logging and policy polling)

For more information about the purpose of these settings, see “Configuring Global Settings”. For information about the fields and values, see Help.
