The load balancer would have no knowledge of any of the CF instances. It simply knows that there are N number of servers running IIS. Once the hardware load balancer handed off the request its job is done. It has nothing to do with which CF instance processes the request. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 5:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Targetting an instance Well, any decent load balancer would be able to load balance at both ends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
