[THIN] XP Load Balancing server vs. application

Hello!

What's the difference between assigning load balancing evaluators to *servers* and assigning them to *applications*?

We publish full desktops (and some applications) hosted on a 4 server XPa farm. Each *server* has the "Advanced" evaluator assigned, and load balancing seems to work independently of which evaluator I assign to the *application* (even "none" will work).

In CMC I have to assign an evaluator to each server (ther's no "none" setting here), but I don't have to assign an evaluator to applications. Does anyone know how load balancing with XPa really works? (qfarm /app <appname> shows two columns "application load" and "server load". Which figures decide which server will be used for an application?)


Our environment:


Windows 2000 SP3
Metaframe XPa SP3
