Re: [NTISP] load balancing IIS4 web servers

Remember though, that with this solution, if one of the servers are down
still half the requests will be forwarded to the working server and half to
the non-working server meaning that 50% of requests to the site will fail.
It is important in this case that both servers are reliable.

Jordan
