Yep. Have used it for application and web services load balancing. Also have used the Cisco CSS.
As long as your Engineer knows the traffic to look for, the destinations, and if it is to be statefull or stateless - then it will work. Obviously, the LDAP on 389 is not the only thing to take into account. Be aware of anything on 3268 as well as anything that is "/S" oriented as well.

We have some apps that have to be configured to a specific host and this was one idea floated up.

It seems that one of my DC can not deal with a large number of LDAP queries, GC Response and NTLM/Kerberos Auth .... I misunderstand something but is my DC 2003 is able to check that it cannot deserve these queries and forward automatically these queries to another DC that is less busy ? In order wold, can AD 2003 natively load-balance queries to another less busy DC ?
