To add a secondary server, select the Add/Remove Secondary Server checkbox to display the Secondary

Server Parameters, complete the fields as described in the table above, and then click Apply. The secondary

server is queried only if the primary server is down or the request to the primary server times out.
To remove a secondary server, clear the Add/Remove Secondary Server checkbox, and then click Apply.
