Hello,

isit possible to change the cluster mode from unicast to multicast?
The two nodes are virtual mashines under VM Ware.
Actually both nodes have two NIC interfaces, but switching to multicast
doesn`t need to work with two NICs.

Could this config switch be made, while the NLB cluster is online and
accessable?

Thank you for further help!

Yes, you can change from unicast to multicast (unless this is an ISA 2004
NLB array). The array will need time to converge after the change on all
machines.

Cheers,

Rod
