Hi<br />
<br />
I have installed NLB on two nodes using Windows 2008 R2 <br />
<br />
CSLWINIIS02A and CSLWINIIS02B<br />
<br />
As far as I know NLB has appearing to work correctly, however:- (I need to know the following..)<br />
<br />
a) How could I identify that the NLB is working correctly<br />
b) When I did restart on CSLWINIIS02A, I shortly noticed 'time out' sessions on CSLWINIIS02B but this was resolved (i.e.) i was able to ping CSLWINIIS02B, but this was after 5mins or so.<br />
c) What is the difference between 'unicast' and 'multicast' how do I determine which one to use and how do I know if it is working as expected<br />
<br />
Thanks
