Microsoft NLB - Network Load Balancing

The Network Load Balancing (NLB) role is available in Windows Server 2008. Every TS Gateway server member in the farm must install and configure NLB to form a fail-over load balancing server cluster. NLB distributes traffic between different TS Gateway server farm members. When a server in the cluster fails, NLB automatically removes the failed server from the cluster. The NLB cluster has a virtual IP address which is used by the clients to connect to the terminal server gateway farm. Figure 1 below illustrates load-balancing TS Gateway using NLB.
