Last summer we tried fail-over and load balancing with dhcp3. It wasn't difficult to setup and worked really well. http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/DHCP%20Failover-Load%20Balancing The only limitation is that it is not scalable beyond 2 dhcp servers. However two, is the minimum required for fail over and load balancing. But getting back onto XDM load balancing, I've been told that in lts.conf, you can define multiple Xservers (or is that XDM_servers) and that will make the terminal do some sort of round robin balacning between them. Does anyone anything about that? Cheers. Chris.
