3 Fill in the fields.
Proxy Service Name. Specify a display name for the proxy service. For the sales group, you
might use sales. For the group of application servers, you might use apps.
Multi-Homing Type: Specify the multi-homing method that the Access Gateway should use to
identify this proxy service. Select one of the following:
Domain-Based: Uses the published DNS name (www.test.com) with a hostname
(www.newsite.test.com). For more information, see
Homing," on page
Path-Based: Uses the published DNS name (www.test.com) with a path (www.test.com/
path). For more information, see
Virtual: Uses a unique DNS name (www.newsite.newcompany.com). Virtual multi-
homing cannot be used with SSL. For more information, see
Homing," on page
reverse proxy rather than a proxy service. For information on creating a second reverse
proxy, see Section 6.3, "Managing Multiple Reverse Proxies," on page
Published DNS Name: Specify the DNS name you want the public to use to access your site.
This DNS name must resolve to the IP address you set up as the listening address. This option
is not available when path-based multi-homing is selected.
Path: Specify the path to use for this proxy service. This option is available only when path-
based multi-homing is selected.
Web Server IP Address: Specify the IP address of the Web server you want this proxy service
to manage.
Host Header: Specify whether the HTTP header should contain the name of the back-end Web
server (Web Server Host Name option) or whether the HTTP header should contain the
published DNS name (the Forward Received Host Name option).
For a path-based multi-homing service, it is usually best to select the Web Server Host Name
option. For more information, see
Web Server Host Name: Specify the DNS name of the Web server that the Access Gateway
should forward to the Web server. If you have set up a DNS name for the Web server and the
Web server requires its DNS name in the HTTP header, specify that name in this field. If you
selected Forward Received Host Name, this option is not available.
