Subject: [THIN] XPE Load Balancing


Thanks to the guys who replied about MF. I could with some feed back
about
XPe though.

When you load balance over XPe is it recommended that you have 2 NIC's,
like
NLB - i.e. one for the nlb and one for normal network traffic.. or does
the
load balancing on XPe only really function over the one NIC - so load
balancing and network traffic are shared over the same NIC. I do realise
that XPe has more functionality ie. Memory, CPU and network balancing
but,
I'm interested to see if I should use the 2nd NIC or if it will cause me
more issues ?. This will be for a large farm (W2K AD)- possibly getting
up
to 50/60 citrix servers with a large SQL cluster(SAN based)behind it.
The
farm will run a in-house written application.
