Im no NLB expert but I have setup a few and this is how I did it successfully
You have 2 nics, one is the LAN and the other is the NLB (off lan IP) then you create a new cluster and give it a logical IP, then use that 2nd NIC to bind the NLB service together. Then you go into the NLB service (call it nlb.domain.com) and you add all the virtual IP's there along with the ports (80/443 for example) and that's it. Remember NLB is a first come first serve, so if you try to hit the nlb.domain.com IP you don't know which computer you will get, so its best to use the physical IP off NIC1 for remote mgmt and such. _____ From: MarvinC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 12:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows NLB..intermittent connectivity ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
