Something to know if you're new to Remedy LB is that it doesn't truly load-balance, defined as keeping the load balanced equally between all servers in the group. It's really load sharing. You might have 50 users over 3 servers, and depending on when they logged in, what they're doing, etc., you might have 13 on Server A, 30 on Server B, and 7 on Server C.
That's probably not a real problem for most of us, but you should know to expect this going in.
