NLB and Host Header Value
- by Hafeez
Background:
We are using MOSS 2007 in farm configuration, 2 WFE, 1 Indexer and SQL
Server. MS NLB is used for load balancing. Host header value mapped to
Virtual IP of Cluster in DNS, is used while creating the web applications
in MOSS and all are sharing port 80.
Problem:
When client tries to access the web application that are configured with
host header values. Both of WFEs Hangs for 5 minutes, they stop responding
to ping and browser shows 'Page not found'. In the Application Log on the
WFE, this error is registered "provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The
semaphore timeout period has expired".
Interestingly, the web application with no host header value and hosted on
different ports is working correctly.
Any clue to solve this problem will be helpful.
Thks.
