Question: Is it possible to load balance native .Net
components bewteen App Ctr clusters independent of COM?
We have an App Ctr COM+ tier (NLB) and a COM tier (CLB)
currently that we use for routing and load balancing COM
requests under App Ctr. We'd like to do the same here with
native .Net components but without the COM+ wrapper and
W2K Component Services. Is this possible??? Thanks.

Hi Rick,

There are 2 ways to load balancing .NET components in AC2K.

If you are using .NET remoting to ship distributed .net components,
then you should use NLB to load balancing them and take the advantage
of AC to manage the NLB cluster. Another way is if you are willing to
wrap those .net assemblies into COM+ as ServicedComponent (probably
not, as you mentioned), then CLB can work for their loading balancing
scenario.

If everything is still in plan and client app hasn't been written, I
believe .NET remoting is a more recommended choice.

Thanks.

Best regards,
