    The configuration page displays the Global Load Balance Wizard configuration editor.
  2. In Server, configure the Name, Address, and Data Center Location.
  3. In Virtual Server Pool, configure the Name, Preferred and Alternate. Discover the server members that were previously configured in Server, and select from the given list.
  4. It is required to specify the Name, Host Name, and Domain Name. You can also, if you want, specify the Default Feedback IPv4 or Default Feedback IPv6.

In Zone Tools, three things will happen:

1. Under Zone, your new zone will appear.
