Hi.
Can someone please give me a quick run down on how to avoid a single point of failure when using a hardware load balancer?
Is it simply a matter of having 2 of them?
Quick background - we've always load balanced our web app using MS Network Load Balancing which also provides a measure of HA.
While our parent company has always recommended a hardware balancer as well, none of our customers have every chosen that route. Now someone wants to do it so and I need to get my head around what the architecture should be, with HA taking priority over performance.
