For an Enterprise type environment my clients use active hardware load balancers like the Cisco Content Director. They have the ability to create a load balance group and intelligently balance while checking that the server is up and responding to certain application level calls. For example, it would "ping" the Web Interface server and check that it can load the login page, if not, it would take it out of the list. Regards, Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

We learned from iForum that zone failover only works with Program neighbourhood agent or web clients?? So, I am now designing a globally present and resilient web interface infrastructure! Ok, for local resilience, I could implement NLB between two or more web servers. Does anyone have any advice on providing a resilient IIS presence globally? I guess the way to do it would be to have different DNS entries on DNS servers in each region? How would this work if the DNS is replicated globally? thanks in advance, Brian ============================================================================ == This message is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
