Thanks.... there's a lot of other servers in the same subnet (layer2 adjacent as well) and they must be able to talk.... that confirms what I thought I was understanding from the docs...
We can of course do this server level...;) My last question would then be if we ran NAT with SLB then the servers having to cross layer3 comes out of the equation correct... because with NAT, there would be a translation happening which would handle the actual SLB portion?

The docs only talk about load balancing itself..... Sorry, forgot to answer the second part of this... Yes, you can do active/standby. You can create a primary server farm with one IP and then a backup server farm with the other IP. When creating your virtual server address you can specify the primary and backup server farms. But this assumes your SLB works correctly with L3 hops. COnnections coming in via L3 hops will be load balanced, anything directly layer2 adjacent on the same subnet will not be load balanced. -Robert _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
