Step 2. Create ISV Group for the generic (not HP Traffic
Director) brokered site and associate its service.

This site is a legacy site with a generic load balancer. The SA9200
can function quite well in this environment, but is not able to obtain
metric information to support any of the metrics oriented balancing
methods. Generic load balancers should be set up as an ISV Group.
The brokered services offered by the load balancer are configured in
the SA9200 just like any other service (VIP and port).

Assume that the Web pages behind the single HTTP service available
at the site are constantly changing. In this case it might be unwise to
probe for a specific URL, and preferable to verify the presence of the
HTTP server by attempting a periodic TCP connection.

The scenario description stated that the service provided at this site
was to use Flash Response Mode. Since no load balancer is present,
only the SA9200 can broadcast Flash responses. This is a single point
