the PAT file. A member should only poll for a PAT file if it is not the master
proxy. The master proxy has a local copy of the PAT file, and therefore does
not need to poll for it.

for the PAT file. A member should not poll for the PAT file if it is the master
proxy.

file
|
The full path name of the PAT file.

|
pollhost
|
The host name of the proxy to be polled for the PAT file. Specify this
parameter only if the poll parameter is set to yes,
meaning that the member is not the master proxy.
|
|
pollport
|
The port number on the poll host that should be contacted when polling
for the PAT file. Specify this parameter only specify if the poll parameter
is set to yes, meaning that the member is not the master
proxy.

|
pollhdrs
|
The full path name of the file that contains any special headers that
must be sent with the HTTP request for the PAT file. This parameter is optional
and should only be specified if the poll parameter is set
to yes, meaning that the member is not the master proxy.

pollurl

|
status

Example
The following example tells the member not to poll for the PAT file.
This example would apply to a master proxy.
Init fn=pa-init-proxy-array poll="no"
file="c:/netscape/server/bin/proxy/pa1.pat"
The following example specifies that the member should poll for a PAT
file. This member is not the master proxy.
Init fn=pa-init-proxy-array poll="yes"
file="c:/netscape/server/bin/proxy/pa2.pat"
pollhost="proxy1" pollport="8080"
pollhdrs="c:/netscape/server/proxy-name/parray/pa2.hdr"
