high-availability

Hi,

From what I understand, in order to achieve MSMQ load-balancing, one must use a technology such as NLB.

And in order to achieve MSMQ high-availability, one must cluster the related Biztalk Host (and hence the underlying servers have to be in a cluster themselves).

Yet, according to Microsoft Documentation, NLB and FailOver Clustering technologies are not compatible. See this link for reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235305

Can anyone PLEASE explain to me how MSMQ load-balancing and high-availability can be achieved?

thank you in advance,

M
