set up two separate WebAccess components:

WebAccess Application (a Java servlet) that will be added to your Web server

36.2 Planning WebAccess 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 WebAccess Agent. The WebAccess 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 WebAccess Agent ensures that the WebAccess Agent and its domain always fail
over together.
