I think u can do it basically u have 2 type of clustering 
1) Load Balancing  (done mostly in Linux)
2) Fail Over  (done mostly in Win2k)
in some cases only one can be done but with some software u can do both.

Subject: NICs and Cluster Servers


I have had mixed answers on the following question and would like to get
your opinion on the issues. 

Here is my question. 

I have two Compaq servers running Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I am
clustering the two servers. 

Currently I have two nics in each server. (1-10/100 for Cluster Only Use
and 1-10/100 for Network Only use) 

I am wanting to put in 2 (TWO) Gig Fiber cards in each of the servers
and remove the Network Only 10/100 Nics. 

I want to get some sort of Load Balancing going on for my users. 

Now, I have been told that I can't do this with Clustering and I have
been told that I can do this with Clustering. 

So...can I or can't I. 


Thank you,
