ACE - Load Balance SMB?

[jbartoldus]

Can the ACE load balance SMB?

Server 1 DNS is msserver1

Server 2 DNS is msserver2
VIP DNS is msserver

Can the ACE replace the server name (or IP address) in a tree connect query with the actual real server name that is chosen for the request?

Hi , If I understood you correctly and you're looking for intelligent way to loadbalance NetBios/Samba - I'm afraid there is no such functionality on ACE, we can only do simple L4 loadbalancing for such sessions and can't change anything.
