Re: How to Force client to hit same host

I agree with Rod...not sure I understand the point of the question. If you
do what you're suggesting, you really aren't NLB balancing anything...just
splitting traffic between two different Web servers...

Given an NLB cluster with 2 hosts. The cluster is currently load
balancing
20+ websites. Cluster operation mode is unicast. Port 80 rule with
Multiple
host single affinity (to support sessions) and equal load weight.
This configuration currently forces a client to hit a particular host
(example:Host1) for a given website (exampl: web1.com) so that each time
the
client goes to web1.com, it will always use Host1. But if the same client
hits web2.com, Host2 may be used to serve.

The question:
Is there any way to force a given client to always hit a particular host
(Example:Host1) regardless of destination IP (website in this case).

Reason:
Want to run 2 versions of each website (Example: A and B). If a client
hits
version A of any given site, he/she will always see version A of all sites
in
the cluster and vice versa for version B.
