Netscaler Knowledgebase

Hi,

let me quickly explain what I am up to.

I have two locations that have a Sharepoint farm each. This farm is similar set up and is more or less a copy of each other. The farms are reachable on the same URL in each location.

In order to provide LB I want to have Netscaler in place here.. not only for the farms themselves, but also a layer above which means..

LocationA - FarmA
LocationB - FarmB

If FarmA goes down then LocationA should be able to be routed to FarmB of LocationB, but if both Farms are reachable then the user should be forwarded to his Location's Farm.

So.. I want to introduce a second layer of Netscaler here to decide wether to connect to FarmA or FarmB. The locations are connected via a WAN and WAN is slower than LAN.

Now to the question.. is it possible to add a priority or cost rule for the LB between FarmA and FarmB, so that in each Location the user should be forwarded to his Farm instead of the other Location's Farm?

Thanks for input
Sven
