+ 1. The group name ''client'' references the node(s) specified in ''property.client''. This group can have multiple nodes.

Other relevant parameters are also set here as well. Since we can have multiple nodes we specify ''node.net.w0.ip'' with the last byte of the IP address as %index%. In this way each node will have a unique address.
