The PSX instances within a cluster must be visible to the instances within the

Spacevars

 cluster. When a new instance is created, it will query the PSX using FQDN. Registering the PSX cluster FQDN in the Remote Policy Server instead of the IP address in the configurator manager allows the

Spacevars

 to have a view of the PSX instances within the cluster.

The configurations done made in the Configurator node is are passed on to all

 nodes in the cluster. To know how to configure

Spacevars

 clusters as gateways in the PSX SWe Manager, refer toto "Configuring SBC Cluster ID as Gateway" in the PSX documentation.
