asked on Two WindowsXP sharing one Virtual IP
Dear Experts,
I'm trying to get two Windows XP Machines to share a single virtual IP. However, when I attempt to do so, I get a Network conflict error highlighting that the IP has already been assigned.
I was wondering if any one can shed some light please? Thks.

I'm trying to build a high availability load balancer, such that when one fails, the secondary takes over immediately.
As described on Wikipedia, virtual IP (VIP) is used for connection redundancy by providing alternative fail-over options on one machine; A VIP address may still be available if a computer or NIC fails, because an alternative computer or NIC replies to connections.
What I am interest is how I can configure my machine such that "A VIP address may still be available if a computer or NIC fails, because an alternative computer or NIC replies to connections" can be achieved.
