hi, due to our webserver are hitting a high traffic all the time, and we decide add one more server with load balancing to serve user. my question is, is it we just simple configure the windows load balancing and WAN load balancing device? i first time to configure the windows load balancing, hope all the expertise can give me some advice/ suggestion. thank you

You can use hardware or software load balancers. Software running on the server with less cost and Hardware costing more but not using the server.We use this setup with Server Intellect.If your doing it yourself you will need to test your ip routes and such. I would also setup a DNS fail over so that your sites are always visible.

hi cheehoong, Windows Server DNS has a load balancing (round robin) feature that will fit your application perfectly. If you set up two servers, with identical site content, on 2 different IP addresses or WAN's. There is a load balancing feature on DNS that works as follows: DNS will resolve alternately between 2 IP's, so, for example: site request # 1 will resolve to WAN1 address site request # 2 will resolve to WAN2 address site request # 3 will resolve to WAN1 address This will 50% load balance incoming traffic between two or more servers. Here's the official scoop: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787484.aspx Miguel Fra Miguel Fra www.falconits.com

after we configure the load balancing feature on windows, should i add the WAN load balancing ?

No. The two servers will each be on their own public IP address. The DNS will load balance the incoming connections and the traffic will flow out through the same connection, so outbound traffic will be load balanced as well.MiguelMiguel Fra www.falconits.com
