What is going to happen to our DirectAccess clients if NLB will be disabled?

Two DirectAccess Servers (Windows 2012 R2) has been setup with load balancing in a cluster using Windows NLB. Everything work perfectly. All our remote client computers are always connected.

This is probably noob question but I need to know what is going to happen to our remote clients if I temporarily disable NLB (within the DirectAccess management console)? I am guessing that all current active connections will be terminated. Will those remote clients reconnect back again? Or, we need to ask our clients to bring their laptops back to the office so they can get new AD group policy?

Hi,

Disabling NLB/HLB will force clients to re-establish IPSEC tunnel with remaining nodes. So users may experiment some timeout but will reconnect anyway.
