Here's my scenario:
Two servers, one AD Domain Controller also running as the DNS server.
Second server is running Virtual Server, which is hosting two Windows
XP sessions. Internet connection is through cable company and have a
standard Linksys router performing NAT and forwarding port 3389 to one
of the XP virtual sessions.
Here's what I'd like to do:
I'd like to have it set so that when an external user connects to the
XP session throug termial services, the port gets forwarded to the
next machine. So if someone connects to XP session A, then the next
request gets forwarded to XP session B, and the next to A, etc, in a
round-robin way.
Internally, this isn't a problem really, since I can just set up a
host name with the two IP addresses of the virtual XP sessions. But
how can I do this for external users? Is this something that DNS can
even do? Basically it seems like I'd be taking one IP address and
forwarding it to another IP address.
I think I kind of get an idea of what you want, and I'm 100% certain it
won't work. This is something your router would have to do, because it's 1
IP to 1 port. I don't think there's anyway to get the router to send a
connection to one machine this time and another machine next time without
changing the router configuration.
Plus, I'm not sure what your really trying to achieve here anyway.
It would likely cheaper to license the terminal server at $67 per CAL,
anyway. You might even get a better deal than $67 if you shop around.
