Title: Network Load Balance Query !!
Post by: Anandh_g on November 08, 2005, 12:05:01 AM

In my office we have an IIS server running on Win 2000 Server. It has a single 100Mbps Eth link and it is configured with 2 IPs(One Virtual).  My sysadmin said it is used for network load balancing. My doubt is if having one virtual IP will do network load balancing ???.

Even if some users connect to IP 1 and some set of users connect to IP 2, will there be any performance difference than comparing to having a single IP.
