Creating a Proxy Array Member List

You should create and update the proxy array member list from the master proxy of the array only. You only need to create the proxy array member list once, but you can modify it at any time. By creating the proxy array member list, you are generating the PAT file to be distributed to all of the proxies in the array and to any downstream proxies.

You should only make changes or additions to the proxy array member list through the master proxy in the array. All other members of the array can only read the member list.

2. Click the Configure Proxy Array link.

   The master member should be added first before adding the other members.

   • Name. The name of the proxy server you are adding to the member list

   • IP Address. The IP address of the proxy server you are adding to the member list

   • Port. This is the port on which the member polls for the PAT file.

   • Load Factor. An integer that reflects the relative load that should be routed through the member.

   • Status. The status of the member. This value can be either on or off. If you disable a proxy array member, the member’s requests will be re-routed through another member
