In SharePoint 2010 farm one of the web front end servers receives no traffic?

Question

Hi,

In my SharePoint 2010 farm, we have two web front end servers WFE1 and WFE2. For some reason all the traffic (http requests) are routed through WFE2 and I do not see WFE1 in action at all.

Any clues why this would happen please? How can I distribute traffic on both web servers?

Thanks folks.

Answer 1

Are the WFEs in network load balancing? Have you take a look to the configuration of your NLB software/hardware?

Cheers

You should configure Network Load Balancing for your WFEs
