I am trying to setup a new webfam, I have 2 hyper V instances running server 2008 enterprise. I am replicating the content with DFS and using shared config for the IIS changes. Now this is all working fine and dandy.
I have a hardware load balancer that I want to use to distribute the load. I am going to have several sites hosted on the same box, however I need 1 site to listen on one virtual IP on both instances.
It seems that there are a few postings about this but I haven't been able to find anything that meets my needs.
I have created the loopback adapter, and ran the netsh commands from some of the other posts but my problem lies that I cannot access those loopback IP's that I assign outside of the hyper V instance. This might be more of a hyper V question, but I am curious as how people are achieving this in a shared configuration mode with a hardware load balancer. (I would rather not use NLB). It seems like the Loop back adapters are the only way to go.
Anyone offer any insight?
