1. No, Entreprise is not needed as you will use NLB (Network Load Balancing)
from Windows 2003

2. No, Load Balancing and clustering is not the same thing

4. I don't see why you would need 2 NIC's in each server except if you want
to do Teaming

5. No, you must assign your external IP adress to the load balanced IP
adress
