You want to know how to setup Master and Backup for ProxyAV or other ICAP server

Resolution

This is not currently possible to do. However, you can create an ICAP Service Group on the ProxySG (External Services - Service-Groups) and set the weight of the 'Backup' ProxyAV to a very low value, like 1. The ProxySG will send a small amount of connections to the 'Backup' but will send all connections to it if the 'Master' fails.
