Software
Hello,
I wanted to configure Loadbalance and Fail-over for my domino mail server using microsoft cluster service(OS cluster). Please brief me how to get both. I need configure active-active setup.
Thanx
Chandra

Don't use Microsoft Cluster service. The MS Cluster will only provide hardware failover with a shared drive array (SANS).
Your best bet is to upgrade your Lotus Domino license to enterprise and use the Domino Clustering server application. This will provide active-active, load balancing and failover protection. One major advantage is that the Domino cluster does not need to run across identical servers. I've configured them to run in a AS/400 - WINtel mix. Another advantage is that you alsoget more nodes in a Domino cluster compared to a MS Hardware Cluster (Win2000 Advanced server allows a max of 4)(Domino 5.x Enterpise allows 6-8)
Good luck
Rick
