Remote desktop services scalable architecture
Hi,
I setup a test scenario with 2 Windows Enterprise 2008 R2 servers in order to provide remote web based access (via Internet) to a certain application running on one of these two servers.
In this configuration one server is running Active Directory and DNS, while the other server is running Remote Desktop Session Host + Remote Desktop Connection Broker + Remote Desktop Web Access.
If I want to add more users I obviously need to add more servers to this configuration and put in place some kind of load balancing mechanism:
what's the best way to go in this case?
Any step by step guide?
Thank you
Mac

Unfortunately the application is not web based so we have to go the RDS route.
Currently I am using two virtual servers running on two separate VMWare machines in a hosting provider environment and connected to the same virtual local network. The provider assigned me one public IP address that was associated with the Remote Session Host server (using NAT I believe).
In this scenario what do you suggest? I know that Remote Desktop Services allow you to easily scale capacity as the number of users increases keeping the same configuration. How?
Thanks
