Non-Load-Balanced Application Does Not Work Properly on WLBS

ID: Q199008

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
Windows NT Load Balancing Service
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

SYMPTOMS

A TCP/IP application running on one of the cluster hosts does not appear to work correctly when running Windows NT Load Balancing Service (WLBS). This application is not being load balanced.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because one or more of the application's ports are inadvertently being load balanced. If you create a port rule with a very large port range, you may inadvertently load balance ports for other applications

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, be sure that the port rules handle ports only for the intended applications.
