Multiple Userid Agents

It is possible to add multiple userid agents (AD in my case) which serve a single domain to my PAN4020 for the purposes of redundancy?

Absolutely. I have this mainly because I have two sites and it's more efficient on link traffic, but it just comes down to adding installing and configuring the agents and adding them to the PAN's agent list.

Yes you can assign multiple Pan-Agents to point to the same or different Domain controllers on the same domain, this might be done for assorted reasons usually redundancy. It is often overdone however and we have seen sites with dozens of agents. As of 3.1.4 a behavior change was made and the PAN device will only look to a single agent per domain for user info, this agent will be identified with an asterisk * in the cli when you pull up pan-agent statistics.
