If I cluster Windows 2003 web servers in a DMZ, can I load balance between
these servers?

Yes you can. Network Load Balancing (NLB) is recommended.

Thanks...two questions please
1. Can I add servers ad infinitum to make the solution scalable?
2. Would the NLB double the throughput on two clustered servers with NLB,
or is there more overhead to it?

Thanks

NLB can scale to 32 servers. That should be enough huh?
NLB does not add much if any overhead, so 2 is better then 1, and 3 is
better then 2 and .....
