I have a pair of CS11152 in HA mode and we use HTTP for load balancing. In my opinion if your are using ping to load balance it is a waste. The CSS's are very capable and load balance HTTP very well. As far as load balancing methods the engineer at TAC said to use round robin which is the deafult scheme. I was using ACA, but the engineer said that should be only used for the heaviest fo traffic sites so i recommend using round robin as well, it'lll work better.
Here is a sample config: service svc-w1.web ip address 172.16.10.100 port 80 keepalive type http keepalive method get keepalive uri "/http-ping.html" active service svc-w2.web ip address 172.16.10.101 port 80 keepalive type http keepalive method get keepalive uri "/http-ping.html" active content cnt-www.cobrand protocol tcp port 80 balance roundrobin ##you really don;t need this line becuase roundrobin is defaut. url "/*" add service svc-w1.web add service svc-w2.web vip address 192.168.133.100 active hope this helps ""Patrick Donlon"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi All > > I have two web servers which are being load balanced behind a CSS, this > is working fine.
