Answer 1

Do you have a hardware load balancer or do you wish to use Windows Load Balancing?

If you would like to use NLB there are several guides you can follow

• install network load balancing feature on both WFEs
• configure a NLB cluster with a cluster IP address
• configure a DNS record you would like to use for accessing SharePoint to use the cluster IP address (intranet, portal, whatever)
• check your alternate access mappings configuration
