Cluster and Load Balance


hi,

i new clustering , wondering if possible achieve load balancing (nlb) , clustering simultaneously.

the reason have (proprietary) client/server app benefit from:
a) sharing load across multiple machines
b) clustering, each node 'aware' of other nodes.

from understand nlb can a) , clusters b). there documentation on how both?

thanks help.

ps: developer , using cluster api implement this.

traditionally nlb used stateless applications.  check out doc well, gives nice overview of chosing right solution app:

you build nice 3-tier application leveraging both, traditionally done.

 

thanks!!
