Well, yes and no. DNS does load balance via round robin, as Jorge alluded to. DCs do not load balance based upon your requirements, where a request is forwarded to another DC if the receiver is "busy".
After all, what is the definition of busy?? neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TIROA YANN Sent: 13 June 2005 16:05 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Load balancing LDAP request among my DCs -> Correction :) Ok, thanks for the reply. Your tip might tell me that AD2003 seems to be *UNABLE* (and not enable -> sorry for my english :)) , natively, to load balance such queries, strange ...... :( I will chek your link for more informations.

It seems that one of my DC can not deal with a large number of LDAP queries, GC Response and NTLM/Kerberos Auth .... I misunderstand something but is my DC 2003 is able to check that it cannot deserve these queries and forward automatically these queries to another DC that is less busy ? In order wold, can AD 2003 natively load-balance queries to another less busy DC ?
