RE: Windows NLB..intermittent connectivity

Oh, also if your running a web app that does sql queries you have to do some
cookies or session enablers? because the data will hit the sql box from a
different box and then the info is no good. One of my guys host about 30
domains and all sql back end and when we went to NLB for them they had this
issue and had to reprogram a bunch of stuff to get it working. So it would
look like the connection dropped but it really just disconnected because the
information was bad and you get a page not found or something.

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.
