1.2.2 Logical Service Names

Front-end logical service names are used by customers and should be clear and concise. They have the following form:

service-geo.example.com

Where the front-end service is one of the following:

• mail for Messaging Server

• mobile for Wireless

• book for AddressBook

• access for HTTP and Communications Express

• cal for Calendar Server

• im for Instant Messaging

An example of a logical service name would be mail-amer.example.com that American employees would use as their mail server.

The back-end names for these logical services that are used by the customer have the following form:

complexNameN-serviceM.subdomain

For example, first node of second mail cluster in the complex can be accessed as bedge2–mail1.us.example.com.

Back-end logical services not used by the customer have names of the following form:

service-geo-NN.subdomain

Where the back-end service is one of the following:

• ds for Directory Server, and NN is 01 for a Master, and 02 or 03 for a Replica

• id for Access Manager and associated Web Server, and NN is 01 or 02, which are load-balanced

For example, ds-amer-01.us.example.com is the master Directory Server for the complex serving the Americas.
