I haven't tried, but if I do that I need to use multicast which I'm 99% sure wouldn't work with our config. I tried it once and when it didn't work I went immediately back to trying it unicast with the dual nics
Private nics are 10.1.1.1/255.0.0.0 and 10.1.1.2/255.0.0.0 ... Should that be 255.255.255.0 ? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johansson Patrick Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 3:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: FE NLB woes Have you tried configuring NLB without a separate network card for the heartbeat?

If so, do you have it configured properly? I ran into problems (which may have since been corrected since this was some time ago) where if I configured teaming and tried to change it after installing NLB, it simply wouldn't work.

Please prove me wrong. 2 front-end exchange 2003 sp1 servers (fe1.domain.com fe2.domain.com) Both have 2 nics The 2 public nics are on the same subnet and the 2 private nics are on their own subnet, configured happily at 10/half as MS says to do, connected with a crossover cable I fire up nlbmgr on fe1.domain.com, create my cluster: cluster.domain.com With an IP address in the same subnet as the public nics of the servers Point it to the public interface on fe1.domain.com and it creates the cluster. At this point I can ping everything happily and go to http://cluster.domain.com as I'd like. Then I try to add fe2.domain.com the same as I added fe1.domain.com and the whole thing goes to hell. At this point I can't ping cluster.domain.com or fe2.domain.com but I can ping fe1.domain.com ... So it looks like fe2.domain.com took over and somehow screwed me? After doing thing 10 different times each trying from both servers having it fail, removing the cluster and starting over I get the same thing every time. I've tried this both with and without the windows firewall enabled on these servers. All of the hardware is identical HP DL360s.
