We have exaclty the same problem in our load-balancing proxy. Remember that if you are load-balancing, traffic eventually will come out through another network interface,,, and hence, another source IP. The problem must be that the MSN service gets "confused" when he sees that the one session has changed source IPs... or maybe it's a IP stack problem and not related to the MSN specifically. Anybody can provide some more feedback on this? The IP session layer is supposed to keep sessions across changing IPs? Our "solution" was to tell the MSN clients to use a proxy server that has a single internet connection (separete from our main proxy server, which is the one loadbalancing).
