Author External Link Problem with Clustered Servers

We previously had the External Link problem on our CMS Site where it adds in
the Templates directory.

eg. Link entered
http://c3:84/index.htm

Link changed by CMS to:
http://c3/C3/Templates/:84/index.htm

So we applied the Hotfix recommended to fix this issue. If you go directly
to the server ie. http://server01/c3:84/index.htm or
http://server02/c3:84/index.htm CMS does not alter the link.

However our Production servers are in a cluster and have load balancing
software and if you go through the dns of C3 it alters the link to
http://c3/C3/Templates/:84/index.htm

Any ideas on why this would happen? Or how to fix?

Kele.

Hi Kele,

that looks very weird!
Please check if there is a front end publishing proxy server that modifies
the URL.
MCMS should not do anything to the part in front of the port number.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

No we are not running a front end publishing proxy server. The load
balancing software is the Microsoft one, wouldn't think that would be making
any chang.

The change is made once you save and exit from the placeholder.

Cheers,
Kelly.
