I second Joe in upgrading to Mid Tier 6.3. We've been using it fine for the past year against ARS 6.0.1. You will enjoy a much better performing and stable mid tier!
Otherwise there is only one trick in setting up the mid tier with WebSphere Edge as a load balancer, which is the requirement to use the 'sticky' option for the session persistence. This can be set at the cluster level. (ndcontrol cluster set...)
Let us know what specific issues you are having.

**Before I proceed, is there any chance that you might want to upgrade to ARS version 6.3? There are distinct advantages of upgrading to ARS 6.3 rather than staying on the version you are currently on especially when trying to set up a server group to use behind a load balancer. Besides ARS 6.3 in my experience with patch 13 is a lot more stable than ARS 6.0.1 at any patch level especially the Mid-Tier. The Mid-Tier for ARS 6.3 is also redesigned in its basic architecture, so it works a tad bit faster because of its new caching mechanism.Let me know if you are willing to upgrade to ARS 6.3 as if you are I'll give you the information on how to set up the load balancer for ARS 6.3 - this method is specific to this particular version of the ARS and will not work for the earlier versions.If you decide to stick with ARS 6.0.1, I'll give you the alternate older method to set it up (which also works with ARS 6.3, but you will not really enjoy some of the advantages of the new version if you use the older method to set it up...)RgdsJoe
