35.1 Planning the Internet Agent in a Cluster

A main system configuration difference between a GroupWise system in a clustering environment
and a GroupWise system in a regular environment is that you need to create a separate domain to
house each GroupWise gateway, including the Internet Agent. The Internet Agent is faster and more
stable when it runs on the same server with its domain. In a cluster, creating a separate domain for
the Internet Agent ensures that the Internet Agent and its domain always fail over together.
