What is a primary SurfinGate server?
Summary: A primary SurfinGate server is an installation of SurfinGate that also sets up the database. Full Explanation: During installation, the administrator is asked if this installation of SurfinGate is the primary SurfinGate server. When Yes is selected, SurfinGate will also set up the database. SurfinGate requires a database; therefore, the first copy of SurfinGate installed on a network should always be a primary server. When installing an additional SurfinGate that will use a primary server’s database, No should be selected when asked if this is the primary SurfinGate server. After selecting No, the hostname of the primary server must be entered so that the secondary server can locate the central database.
