Configure the Custom Service with TCP ports 80 and 90. When this object is created, the ports must be separated by a space in the Port field.

CLI commands:

config server-policy service custom
edit "multiport"
set port 80 90
set protocol TCP
next
end

Configure Server Policy and set the Deployment Method to 'HTTP Content Routing', then select the Content Routing and Service created in steps 3 and 4.
