Backend server section

The backend server section defines a back-end server connection. It specifies the information that is used by the Outbound Enabler when it connects to the Relay Server farm on behalf of a back-end server. There is a backend server section for each Outbound Enabler connecting to the Relay Server farm. The backend server section also assigns a back-end server to a back-end server farm.

This section is identified by the backend_server keyword.
