I know this sounds silly but is there a way to setup a vlan and then have it emulate a hub as opposed to a switch on a procurve 4000? The reason I need to do this is because I'm trying to setup windows 2000 load balancing. It's a simple config with 2 front end web servers each having 1 front-end and 1 back-end NIC. Everything is configured properly but only the first server is receiving http hits to the web server via the virtual IP. I read some troubleshooting tips that recommend connecting the load balanced nodes to a plain hub and then connecting the hub to a switch because switches sometimes cause erratic behavior because of the way they handle the mac address and segmentation. Anyone else successfully setup Windows 2000 NLB using a procurve 4000? I guess I could also just go out and buy a generic 100MB hub but I would like to utilize my procurves if possible.
