NLB session managment !

Hi,

We have two Windows 2000 advanced servers with Coldfusion
services installed on it.
We are trying to configure them as two mirror WEB
services; whereone is a back up to another.

While evaluating Windows 2000 Network Load Balancing (NLB)
option I have a question:
How NLB handles applications sessions?

If one server will be overloaded and request will be
transferred to another server via NLB what will happen
with session variables?

Hi -

NLB is not session aware - plain and simple. Further, NLB does not do
dynamic load-balancing, so requests will never be redirected to an
less-loaded server. The NLB load-balancing algorithm is static and
statistical, based on client TCP/IP address and port.

Cheers, Sean
