NLB in a PIX DMZ

[steyler]

My questions is as follows. Is it possible to run NLB on two servers in a DMZ on a pix? My concern is that if an external host connects to the virtual IP of the NLB, which is a NAT and that request gets sent to server "A" does the server reply with the NLB virtual IP or the host of the same server? If it replies with the host IP this would break the stateful nature of the PIX for connections. Thanks.

With current gen Windows NLB, I *believe* it uses the NLB IP.

What are you using NLB on?

I have a couple of Win2oo3 servers in a DMZ for access from the internet to a couple of servers with the Virtual IP that will ne NAT'd. The NAT would point to the VIP and behind the VIP would be the two servers host IPs.
