I ran two WLBSed front-end Exchange 2000 OWA servers for 3 years without any problems when I worked for a hosting provider (iNNERHOST). I am also surprised that a ***Microsoft*** tech told you that something is wrong with WLBS, since it is an MS technology and they usually don't badmouth it.
WLBS could be tricky depending on your network infrastructure. But when you follow the rules and understand what you want to achieve, it works really well. I just followed the Exchange hosting whitepapers when I first put it together and it worked. I also used WLBS on a battery of 4 front-end SMTP servers - that worked great too. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Haber, David J. Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 9:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Windows load balancing and OWA Does anyone know of any specific problems with using Windows Load Balancing for front end OWA servers. I recently had a Microsoft tech tell me that there are "problems" with WLB and OWA and that he wouldn't recommend using it. He could not tell me what the problems might be however. Just that when they troubleshoot OWA problems, if WLBS is running, they turn it off and it "helps fix the problem". _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
