Hostselect Option

Introduced in release: 8.0.2

The  Proxy option specifies how the back-end server is selected from a list of possible hosts in the storehostlist option when a front-end service such as the MMP, mshttpd or LMTP client connects to a back-end service. The  value routes all connections to the first host in the list or the host that was most recently successful for this affinity group. This value is recommended when using the automatic failover feature of the classic message store. The  value uses each host in the list in sequence to provide limited load balancing between the hosts and is recommended for use with the Cassandra message store.

The default value is: failover
