I have not touched a windows box for ages... But:

I think (I've heard) there is something like a loopback
interface/driver/thingy that you can add/install and assign the IPs to.
The guy was balancing windows streaming media servers using DR. According
to him it worked fine. Not sure which windows flavour it was, I think 2000
server.

Let me know if you can't figure it out. I could ask him...
