Implementing NLB (Network Load Balancing) in VMware

Link to PDF HERE

Network Load Balancing is a feature of recent Microsoft server operating systems, including Windows 2000
Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. This clustering technology enables you to
improve the scalability and availability of Internet server programs, such as Web servers, proxy servers, DNS
servers, FTP servers, virtual private network servers, streaming media servers, and terminal services servers.
In addition, it can detect host failures and automatically redistribute traffic to servers that are still operating.
In a VMware® Infrastructure 3 environment, you can create a cluster for Network Load Balancing using virtual machines on the same host or virtual machines on multiple hosts.
