I have a network load balanced front end design.
I have two front end servers and one back end.
The problem i having is that when users hit OWA using the nlb name it is fine but if one server goes down then OWA crashes as well and they have to wait up to 15 minutes before they can get in.
If i do a ping test and unplug each nlb one at a time it fails over fine. Not sure if there is something i have done wrong or if this somehow is the design of nlb. I know nlb is not like clustering but i wanted some type of fault tolerance.
Thanks
