Adding a hosted organization to an additional server to provide new Web applications
A hosted server environment can be configured to allow multiple servers to provide Web applications to one or more hosted organizations. Part of managing a hosted environment is enabling additional servers to serve Web applications to a hosted organization. Web applications can be distributed across multiple servers, while serving as many hosted organizations as you designate.

You can enable a hosted organization that is currently being served applications by one or more servers to be served a Web application by an additional server.

To add a hosted organization to an additional server to provide new Web applications

1. Create a data directory for the hosted organization on the target server.

2. Create an ACL file for the hosted organization in the data directory of the target server.

3. Create a Web Site document for the hosted organization, where the new Web Site document's DNS name resolves to the target server's IP address or name. This new Web Site document allows servers and routers to distinguish between servers. Use the Basics tab on the new Web Site document to enter the host names or addresses that map to the site and the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ servers that host the site.

4. To support the hosted organization, make other Web application-specific modifications -- for example, configure the Welcome page.

5. For Web applications only, create the DNS names that direct users to this server and to this hosted organization's Web site.

For more information on setting up a Web Site document, see the topic Hosting Web sites.
