"it" is the WINS server?

the RIP and the DNS name for the LVS didn't match?
the RIP from the real server didn't match with the Static Mapping of the ip
address I inserted for real server on the WINS server, the Netbios names being
unique the real server shut down the network.
Don't you hate the term 'server', it can be so many different things!

what's a virtual directory?
It's where you can map a directory from another computer under a web server
root directory as if it's actually exists there, this must be an IIS thing, I
thought it happended on most web servers?

It seems like part of the function of your LVS setup is exporting disks. What is
the service(s) that
you are LVS'ing?
Basically I have two 'real' web servers and a 'real' mail server sat behind the
LVS, this is to facilitate failover and load balancing, these reside inside the
DMZ of the firewall, and request data from sql databases on the internal
network, we also have an image server that has lots of TIFF files which are
delivered via the web server, the directories these are in, are on a box on the
internal network and I use the virtual directory function to make these
available to the web server. Being a small team, most of the development staff
access the web server (real server) disc drive as a windows share for coding
and test via a second 'virtual' web server on the same real server.
I still don't understand the problem
