Load Balancing File Shares

[shday]

I have a client who has an application that includes file shares.  I've never heard of anyone need to load balance files shares, but I'm thinking if this is something we want to do we would need sticky configured or maybe a primary secondary type configuration.

Are there any gotcha's regarding file shares and load balancing?

Hi Shady,

You dont need sticky feature here, since i am assuming all the shares will have all the files, you can have two files sharing servers, and a simple loadbalacing would work in your case. Provided you have setup a replication across the shares and maintain the same data across both of them .
