We have a few 'classic asp' client facing websites feeding off a central asp.net mvc site which acts as a webservice ie we query the MVC controllers directly from the ASP sites with extensive use of jquery ajax. This MVC site in turn queries sql server running on a seperate box. We have a custom session profile which requires a call to t...

How do you go about creating a web application in a Sharepoint server farm that has multiple Web front ends(identical ones for load balancing), especially if you creating it from command line? When you create it on one web server does it get automatically copied to other servers as well? Or do you have to extend the app to other servers?...
Hi everybody, I have posted the following question concerning ASP.NET web farms. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1816756/how-to-create-an-asp-net-web-farm/ Guys recommended using Network Load Balancing (NLB) as a primary way of creating a web farm. However, Wikipedia says that "NLBS is intended for ... stateless applications". Our...
What are some good articles/ resources to understand how load balancing is configured with Biztalk --- both in terms of inherent abilities of the product as well as employing NLB (network load balancing with Windows 2003 or later editions)? EDIT: I am specifically interested in the impact of application protocol on load balancing? For e...
We have a WCF service on a NLB cluster. The service is reachable via the NLB address but also via the specific node address. The problem is that the service also has some maintenance interfaces that must not be reachable on the NLB IP. I tried to configure this with <endpoint address="http://NODENAME:8440/Maint" ... but the endpoint...
Hi, I'm newbie for PowerShell and NLB. PowerShell 2.0 has supported nlb in cmdlet and I can't add a remote machine to the cluster. Does Add-Nlbclusternode support to add a remote machine?

Hi, We are planning a Biztalk 2009 set up in which we have 2 Biztalk Application Servers and 2 DB Servers (DB servers being in an Active/Passive Cluster).

I have two webservers in a cluster serving a web application. Using MS Web Deploy to push a new version of the application to one server, and then again to synchronize the files to the other server in the cluster. It seems to be the most ordinary thing to do. But wouldn't there be a problemm, when one server is deployed with the new v...

I have a WCF service to be load balanced with NLB (Windows Network Load Balancer). So I need a Dictionary object to be synced across all the instances of the WCF service. What is the best possible way to do this? ...
We're adding a second server with Windows NLB for a bit of redundancy (ie the power goes on one of the servers - I know its not the best solution). How can we keep the data identical between the servers? Dont want to use a SAN or NAS as thats just something else to go wrong. Customers can upload images with the web app so changes could ...

** Before you comment and say this should be on serverfault.com - it IS on serverfault.com and I've only had one comment so far over 48 hours - I desperately need to get this sorted and stackoverflow always has prompt responses, so I thought I'd try my luck here! ** Hi, I have two servers, both with Windows Network Load Balancing insta...
This is real simple. I have a wcf service (nothing fancy, just New Project-> WCF Service Application), that runs great in Visual Studio. When I deploy it to an clustered IIS6 environment, it works mostly. I can send a request and get a response. However, the generated metadata consistently refers to a particular node in the cluster...
I don't know much about hardware NLBs, but I need this function to limit the load, which comes inside the cluster, and cut the requests that are over the limit. Is it a regular feature for such devices? ...
