1. the address is working locally on my LAN. Workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network can access the 192.168.1.2 without a problem. Any networks past my router are not able to get to the IP address. The router is not routing the requests to that IP address. and experts have determined that I should add a static ARP entry into the router in order to get the NLB address routed. <br />

Can you explain why this needs to be done. Our router people are questioning it.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
