Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing...
Your LVS works fine (outside clients get services running on the realservers via
the director)
Your realservers register with the WINS box as their RIP (which I would expect
them to do).
Yes this is correct, I tried to do static mapping in the WINS server but when
the real server rebooted it dropped the network as the IP and Netbios name
didn't match! (Windoze!! Pulling hair out)
I don't know much about NT, so you may need to fill me in a bit here.
LVS doesn't know about netbios (LVS is IP) and won't be able to handle anything
here.
It sounds like you want the NT servers to register as the VIP
with the WINS box and they won't. Do you want the WINS box to talk
to the VIP (now on the linux box) and authenticate users?
Yes, I need the real server to use WINS to resolve Netbios names for the
virtual directory's and stuff on the IIS web servers, and give the development
team access to the shared disc space, but it seems you can't do a read from and
not write to solution, it all or nothing!
I don't understand the problem real well at the moment
