Re: Inconsistent behavior with NLB

What do you mean both DNS names? The web site should have one name in DNS. Users should not be going to the node names for IIS either.

I have configured Windows 2003 Network Load Balancing for my IIS application
(intranet). One Cluster Virtual IP address and two physical nodes. In each
node there is one Network adapter. The NLB cluster configured with multi cast
and filtering is set to one. There are no port restrictions. The Cluster IP
has also a hostname configured in DNS.

Requests are reaching to my IISs (on both servers) fine from some of the PCs
in the network with both DNS name as well as with virtual IP address.

The issue is from other PCs request is not going. Also from some PCs
behavior is not consistent (i.e this will work some time good and suddenly
will not work).

Any idea why this is working.

Thanks,
Billu.
