Multiple IP address and DNS in afxm file

I need to set up the BigFix server to be available to clients on two IP addresses and two DNS records

Access from the company’s internal network - IP: 192.168.x.x and DNS server.comp.local
Internet access: IP: x.x.x.x and DNS server.company.cz
Port 52311 is allowed from both the internal network and the Internet

Is it possible to generate an afxm file that will contain the above records? What is the recommendation for such a configuration? It is an environment for 20 computers.

Recommend always using a DNS name, and making it an Alias to your root server (not the actual server hostname).

The masthead file can only have one gather URL embedded in it. For the case of external clients registering through your DMZ relay, apply a _BESClient_RelaySelect_FailoverRelayList value during the client installation. You can add any number of Relays to the list, delimited with semicolons.

For the .EXE version of the client setup, see https://help.hcltechsw.com/bigfix/10.0/platform/Platform/Installation/c_windows_clients.html

If you’re deploying with the MSI installer, there’s a helpful tutorial on customizing the MSI at Edit the Bigfix MSI

If you’re using the Client Deployment Wizard, there’s an option to configure client settings if you expand the “Advanced” option.

Let us know if you need some help with any of that.
