Re: New |To Network Load Balancing

No, Jason, you do need two or more physical servers to configure NLB...from the Q&A here:



Network Load Balancing: Frequently Asked Questions for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/clustering/nlbfaq.mspx

Q. Can NLB Be Used Instead of NIC Teaming Software to Provide Adapter Fault Tolerance or Increase Throughput?
A. No, NLB cannot be used to team adapters (grouping adapter ports together). NLB is used strictly to load balance traffic among multiple hosts in a load-balanced cluster

Hope this helps,

Hi All, i have a single server with tw networks cards in it.....

my question is - can i use network load balancing to ease the
congestion and if so how do i go about setting t up - as it stans at
the moment both network cards are on the same IP range and subnet and
both have static ip addresses on them.....
i would just like to know my options as i cannot use "teaming" with
these two cards...

Thanks for any help in advance

Jason
