Hi,
I have two ftp/http servers with 3 nics in each. One nic (per server) is
dedicated to the back-end sql servers respectively; leaving two nic's per
server for customer downloading. Currently, only one nic in each is setup
with Microsoft load balancing using a virtual ip address. Front end consists
of 2 Cisco PIX and 2 Cisco switches setup for fail-over/redundency.
I want to introduce the two remaining nics into rotation. I've seen quite a
few hardware solutions.
What options (and/or previous experience) would anyone recommend for a
hardware solution?
What options (and/or previous experience) would anyone recommend for a
software solution?
Pros/cons? HW/SW?
Looking into Windows technology, only one nic may be used per vip address. I
would really only like to use one virtual ip.
Downtime is not an option unfortunately so I will need to do this
seamlessly. However, currently I am able to take one down at a time. I also
have a "fair" budget for this.
Suggesstions/comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
