I currently have a two node NLB cluster running Windows Server 2003 and
have
implemented MSMQ private queues with the same names on each node. My
applications use the format name Direct=TCP:clusteripaddress to
communicate
to the queues. When the applications send messages to the queues NLB
distributes them equally between the two nodes, however, when the
applications attempt to read from these queues, the reads only seem to be
distributed to node 1 and any messages that had been previously written to
node 2 will remain in these queues. If I stop node 1 then the messages in
these queues on node 2 will be emptied.

Have I missed something in the NLB configuration?
