Hello All,
We have just recently purchased the Enterprise licensing package and are beginning setup. I have read through the documentation however unfortunately I am still a little bit unclear how to accomplish the setup we are after. What I would like to accomplish is the following:
2 x front-end web gateway servers in a load balanced configuration.
2 x back-end TS application servers in a load balanced configuration.
My understanding is that in order to utilize load balancing versus an HA setup for the front-end servers I will need a load balancer (we use barracuda load balancers). However I am unclear whether this is supported. I prefer NOT to use WNLB. The documented scenario seems to be that the remote client is setup with both a primary and secondary gateway server in their configuration with which to fail-over to should the primary become unavailable. We want to utilize the web interface for our remote users but require HA on the front-end servers.
Secondly on the back-end published servers, is it necessary to have a 'third' server with the publishing agent that redirects the client to either of the back-end servers depending on load? This is what appears. However I am wondering, can the publishing agent be installed on the web front-end servers instead of having a third intermediary server running just the publishing agent as such:
2 x web front-end servers with publishing agent ------> 2 x TS application servers?
instead of
2 x web front-end servers ----> publishing agent ------> 2 x TS application servers?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
