windows 2008 r2 NLB cluster, does it support different subnet? I like to implement NLB at 2 different subnet. is the new 2008 r2 support that?

Hi tommy, Tanks for post here. You mentioned that you want to implement NLB at 2 different subnet. Based on my understanding ,is that mean you want to distributes incoming client requests among the servers which in different subnet? If in that case , I think that can’t be implement .Because according the requirement of NLB ,all hosts in the NLB cluster must reside on the same subnet. However ,I’m appreciate that if you could describe in more detail about what you want to achieve or correct me if I misunderstand . Here are some articles that introduce how to implement network loading balance on windows server 2008 system for you reference: Overview of the Network Load Balancing Deployment Process http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771700(WS.10).aspx Network Load Balancing Step-by-Step Guide: Configuring Network Load Balancing with Terminal Services http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771300(WS.10).aspx Thanks.

If you are trying to provide NLB services between two servers in different sites, you may consider having your Network administrator EXTEND the VLAN accross both sites so that the servers will be in the same subnet. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.
