Microsoft Load Balancing: All or Nothing
March 24, 2009
I found this technical tip quite interesting. I am not a fan of either – or approaches. Your mileage may vary. Click here to read “Windows Network Load Balancing – Don’t run with the defaults!” from the At Scale Web log. The topic is an important one, load balancing. The tip is to disable the affinity mode, which is the default. At Scale recommends that we “set every single one of your servers in the NLB cluster to non-affinity mode and you are golden.” Either – or. Let me know if it works. I prefer a different architecture with good old dedicated load balancers, but I am an addled goose with little tolerance for some of the Microsoft software load balancing excitement.
