Does it work ? > Apache works very well on Server 2008 R2 (I have several servers using it). I suggest you get the pre-compiled version from Apache Lounge<http://www.apachelounge.com/download/> (or 64-bit <http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/>) instead of from apache.org. Installing it in a path with no spaces on the C: drive (I use C:\Webserv) will make sure you do not run into trouble later because of those issues. I have never had the need for NLB, but there should be no reason it would not work (Source<http://people.apache.org/~sctemme/ApconUS2007/scalingout.pdf> ). - Y
