IIS Server (Web Farm)

  • Article

An IIS Server Web farm is the most common scenario for Network Load Balancing. The scenarios "Servicing Multiple Web Sites (Multihoming)" and "Servicing a Web Site with Active Server Pages," which are discussed later in this chapter, are variations on the theme.

Port-rule Settings

Filtering Mode: Multiple Hosts.

Affinity: None, unless session state must be maintained; to maintain session state, either Single or Class C.

Load Weight/Equal load distribution: Equal. However, if one host has a greater capacity than the others, you can use this parameter to increase its share of the client requests.
