Hi All,
We have a requirement of setting up web farm for our application. I tried setting up with the following setup.
We have setted up two Windows 2003 Enterprise edition servers both having complete application with IIS configured.
I have followed the instructions for setting up the Network Load Balancing utility (NLB) comes with Win2k3 and configured two clusters.
I have configured correctly with a virtual ip being used by two nodes and both the hosts in the cluster and converged correctly.
But the issue is i could able to browse the url of the dedicated ips of the machines thru lan, but thru the virtual ip (or load balanced ip) i cannot able to view the application.
Since the virtual ip if i can access then only the application will be load balanced, i am thinking of what will be issue.
Any body could throw light on this.
thanks and regards,

You should make sure of two (2) things:
You must manually create a DNS entry for the virtual IP.
Once this is done, you likely have to enter static arp addresses into your switches (particularly if you are using multicast mode).
Hope this helps.
