So NLB is still different from adaptive balancing.
Do you still advise using NLB on two NICS with adaptive balancing especially
with IIS and Exchange server?
My ISA 2004 is still giving me error regarding slow connectivity on IIS
server. But there's no clue of what so ever.
Can I use clustering IP for each port like one IP for port 80 and another
one for port 21? I'll use three more cluster IP for the ranges of 0-20,
22-79, 81-65535 or I don't need to.
Is that going to give me faster network connectivity ?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ricky
