23. You can use "Client Settings" tab to export the client settings host file, Settings.Hosts.LiveUpdate, used by Windows LiveUpdate clients to download updates from the Distribution Center, or export a liveupdt.hst file, used by Java LiveUpdate clients.

You then copy the exported file to the \Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate directory on the LiveUpdate client computers. When the LiveUpdate client runs, it will use the host file for information on where to download updates.

You can also set the  "use internal liveupdate server" setting in liveupdate policy to point to http://<server_name>:7070/clu-prod.
