That looks like a good paper, and the solution looks
appropriate.
One thing to make sure you're aware of when using NLB; you can't
have NLB and Windows Clustering on the same server. So if you are using
NLB for your CAS and you think you may want to use DAG for your mailbox
server(s), the roles will have to be on separate servers.
It has a neat solution to that. It uses four virtual servers on two
physical boxes.....

Thanks for the replies, they set me off on a lot of reading.
Unfortunatly I've been told that a hardware load balancer is out of the
question at the moment, but I did find this link for a highly available
500 mailbox design
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e0e93251-fc
04-4a18-8aa0-23817b6d0c97) in my list archive, for an MS white paper
which seems to describe an implementation that would fit with what I've
been required to do.
My only question would be, how "real world" are these white
papers, if I followed a similar route would I end up with a practical
solution?
Thanks again,
Laurence

In addition to what Phil said in his reply, for a good overview
of the load balancing options I'd recommend reading this topic :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625247.aspx
FYI, if you go down the hardware load balancer route, here's the
page that lists the hardware load balancers that have completed solution
testing with Exchange 2010 :

Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit new to this so my apologies if I've not understood
something correctly. I'm trying to plan new hardware to deploy Exchange
2010 (100 users, average mailbox size 500MB) and am looking at using two
servers with CAS, HT and Mailbox roles installed on both and using DAG
for high availability. I was thinking of using Windows NLB for load
balancing,but have read that this can't be used with DAG
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979781.aspx). My question
is, if I set up two additional servers with NLB installed and moved the
CAS and HT roles to them, would this solution then provide the load
balancing I'm looking for?
Alternatively, would I be better off with two highly redundant
servers and use one for Mailbox and one for CAS and HT?
Thanks for any advice!
Laurence
