  2. Add the secondary IP address if applicable to the interfaces from Network Settings > Adapter List.

  3. Configure the DNS from Network Settings > DNS.

  4. Add the Host entries (if any) from Network Settings > Hosts.

  5. Set up the routing (if any) from Network Settings > Gateways.

  6. Under Services, click on Reverse Proxy/Authentication. In the Reverse Proxy List, click the proxy service name. Select the newly added cluster member and select the listening IP address for that service.

  7. (Optional) If you want to specify the outbound connection to the Web server, click Web Servers, then click TCP Connect Options. Select the Cluster Member and select the IP address from the drop down list against Make Outbound Connection Using if you want to select the outbound IP address to communicate with the Web server.
