Hi Justin, Thanks for the info. So, If I go with NLB instead of MSCS I should not face any problems ?? Also, is this a problem with MSCS and IIS or is it MSCS, IIS and .NET... I mean is it a sepcific problem with .NET ??
In case I went on MSMQ can I do some synchronous operations as well ?? Would there not be a latency ?

MS has always recommended against clustering IIS in MS Cluster Server, and if you intend on using IIS to host your remote objects, you may experience some issues. Specifically, installing the .Net Framework breaks the IISSYNC application that is used to replicate IIS metadata between cluster nodes before clustering IIS. Breaks it badly enough that running IISSYNC in the broken state corrupts the metadata so badly that a re-install of IIS is required. This is not a terribly fun process ;) This is the only real issue I have seen with respect to MSCS and .Net. <geekMode> How asynchronous? Would MSMQ solve that particular bit? MSMQ can be clustered. MSMQ Triggers can invoke .Net applications / COM+ wrapped .Net assemblies.</geekMode> --------------------------- Justin E.

Hi, I am planning to use .NET Remoting for transfering data between client and server in an asynchronous way. Since the application needs to be highly available, we will be using a Win2k Cluster with fail-over. Are there any issues in using .NET Remoting with any particular type of cluster ??
