Hrm... Is IIS setup to use HTTP keepalives? If not, are you using a browser which is looking for favicon.ico when it makes a request? Just saying - if Apache on your Linux pair is using keepalives, then several HTTP requests will go down one channel - in your case, "GET /" and "GET /favicon.ico" will be in the same TCP session. Without keepalives, guess what? "GET /" goes to one realserver - and "GET /favicon.ico" goes to the other. Have you checked the IIS webserver logs to see if any requests are making it to the second box? I'll eat my hat if the log on one machine is full of favicon requests :) Or... here's an alternative: IIS *is* using keepalives, and the browser is holding the session open while you refresh because it hasn't hit its own internal keepalive expiry timer...
