Default gateway with two nics, two subnet

[victorv]

hi,
I have to implement NLB on Windows2000 Adv.Server
(2 servers with IIS), and I have a complicated Network environment behind.

However begin with a simple scenario.

I have 1 server with 2 nics and I can configure each of them on different subnet (I say can, becouse I have to decide).

The first network is
192.168.138.0 - 255.255.255.0 - DefGateway=251

The second
10.4.216.0 255.255.254.0 - DefGateway= 10.4.217.251

Question:

In how many site have I to fill Default Gateway ? 1, both ?

I can choose address as I want (1st or 2nd network) but I need to see both network.

Having to implement NLB (2 servers) du you suggest me to use
1 or 2 nic for each server ?

bye

In how many site have I to fill Default Gateway: One
Use the route command to define persintent router for the site that you have not defined the gateway

If you would not have to connect the computer to a different network, then which network would the computer be at? Based on your answer, then, define the gateway in the opposite network.

NLB -> Suggest to use two. However, you may need to check on the NIC cards capabilities of handling this configuration.
