Deployment Server | Clustered environment 10.2.x

[NullZero]

IHAC that has a distributed DS/LM/MC in a DMZ environment (see image). It's a new RHEL build on 10.2.2 and clients have their deploymentclient.conf set to call home to it. When I browse to it in the UI there are errors, I note this Help Article and others similar. The fix has not resolved the issue

What I'm tying myself in knots over is if the DS / Agent Manager needs to be able to despatch search to the Cluster Manager in the core environment in order to read the internal _ds* indexes. The same goes for Monitoring console and Licence functionality? I can drop the relevant TA with the clustering stanza (mode SH) onto this DMZ (DS/LM/MC) server but I just want to do it the right way. I think I may be over thinking this.

Thanks @richgalloway that's effectively the answer, I need to give this remote DS the ability so search the indexed data, so it must have the clustering stanza to call back to. It can't function just on the direct call in of clients.

server.conf

[clustering]
mode = searchhead
manager_uri = https://<hostname>:8089
pass4SymmKey = <string>

It would help to know the errors seen in the UI, but if the DS cannot search the _ds* indexes then the UI will not function properly. 

Add the relevant (probably custom) TA to the DS so it knows how to search the indexers.  The MC should already have distributed search configuration.  The CM does not need it and won't care if it's present.
