I'm just jumping into NLB and I'm looking for little help here. I've setup
NLB on machine A and I want to balance B and C. I ran the NLB manager on A, I
can create the cluster, I use Multicast, edit the port rules to the port I'm
going to use, add B and C hosts and they converge fine. I will add that all
machines only have 1 NIC and I'm working on a second one for each machine. So
here is the interesting part, I'm running a test that lasts an hour. Once the
test starts both B and C start handling the load that I'm thowing at them. As
time continues though, both machines CPU drop to 0. Both machines stay at 0
for only a few seconds. Later during the test, say at the 40 min mark, both
CPUs will drop to 0 but stay there for 30 seconds. Both machines drop to 0
and then come back up every 2-3 minutes, its just the longer they go, the
longer they stay at 0 each time. If I don't use NLB and only say machine B,
of course that CPU runs at ~85% on average for the test, hence I want to use
NLB. Anybody every seen anything like this? I'd greatly appreciate any words
of encouragement or help.

Thanks
