I have two IIS server behind a load balancer. The LB has 1 public IP
that is mappted to two private IPs on the servers. How can I find out
what server served the page?

Ah, but each server is serving the same page Smile

I ended up using the Instance ID in IIS as they are unique between the
two.

Thanks Bernard!

What I normally do is I have a simple html file. inside it I put in detail of each server. So when I try to access via the virtual IP, based on the file content, I will know which server it is reading from... another way is to look at each IIS log file. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.tryiis.com/" target="_blank">http://www.tryiis.com/</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/" target="_blank">http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/</a> "J1C" <just1coder RemoveThis @yahoo.ca> wrote in message news:1098386395.414859.66260@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > I have two IIS server behind a load balancer.

The server must return a unique identifier to identify the server. Your load balancers may be injecting a cookie or a header that would uniquely identify the server - if they don't, you could always add a header on both IIS servers with a unique value. What type of load balancers are you using?

I know. but there are two different html file. this is the simple way to browse the page and identify the server. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.tryiis.com/" target="_blank">http://www.tryiis.com/</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://support.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/" target="_blank">http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/</a> "J1C" <just1coder.RemoveThis@yahoo.ca> wrote in message news:1098455050.178016.273510@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > Ah, but each server is serving the same page > > I ended up using the Instance ID in IIS as they are unique between the > two. > > Thanks Bernard! ><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: IP address of load balanced server
