I have setup a few IIS NLB clusters but never really paid too much attention to the load balancing aspects. I currently have 2 2008r2 IIS boxes running NLB, the NLB seems to be working fine except for that it always uses the same primary server unless I reboot it. I was looking at the Multiple Host - Affinity options and even if I set it to 'none' I still see it says the connections will be load balanced but the client ip will associate with only one server. I would really like both servers to act at all times. I tried resetting the different options but am never able to accomplish what Im looking to do.
We have a B2B web server that handles about 50k transactions every few minutes. The problem is that the client connection will always be coming from the same IP so the NLB in this case offers me failover , which is nice, but eventually I need to have 4 servers in this farm and all of them need to act together. The application has already been re-written for sessions etc to accommodate this setup.
