Hi

I am in the situation where I am looking at replacing a rhel LVS + apache load balanced reverse proxy with Windows, I have started to look at IIS7.  But I am thinking I would rather use apache.

Has anyone on the list used apache on W 2008 R2 and have the used it with the Microsoft NLB. Does it work ?

Apache works very well on Server 2008 R2 (I have several servers using it).

I suggest you get the pre-compiled version from Apache Lounge (or 64-bit) instead of from apache.org.

Installing it in a path with no spaces on the C: drive (I use C:\Webserv) will make sure you do not run into trouble later because of those issues.

I have never had the need for NLB, but there should be no reason it would not work (Source).
