Trying to learn IIS farming on Server 2016 - IIS 10,i'm able to configure farm setup but my ARR only get hits from second server all the time.
Here re my configuration details;
Main Server
Windows Server 2016 Standart - 192.168.2.15 - IIS 10 - website name is servistest, it only contains one page as index.asp;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="Webpage description goes here" />
<title>Web Server 001</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="author" content="">
</head>
<body>
<%
Response.Write "<font color='red' size='35px'><b><center>"+FormatDateTime(date,format)+" "+FormatDateTime(time,format)+"<br>WEBSERVER 001</font></b></center>"
%>
</body>
</html>
Second Server ;
Windows Server 2016 Standart - 192.168.2.16 - IIS 10 - website name is servistest, it contains the same asp page as index.asp
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="Webpage description goes here" />
<title>Web Server 002</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="author" content="">
</head>
<body>
<%
Response.Write "<font color='BLUE' size='35px'><b><center>"+FormatDateTime(date,format)+" "+FormatDateTime(time,format)+"<br>WEBSERVER 002</font></b></center>"
%>
</body>
</html>
Third Server ;
Windows Server 2016 Standart - 192.168.2.17 - IIS 10 - website name is servistest, it contains the same asp page as index.asp
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="Webpage description goes here" />
<title>Web Server 003</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="author" content="">
</head>
<body>
<%
Response.Write "<font color='GREEN' size='35px'><b><center>"+FormatDateTime(date,format)+" "+FormatDateTime(time,format)+"<br>WEBSERVER 003</font></b></center>"
%>
</body>
</html>
Here are main server settings;
FARM SETTINGS
URL RE WRITE SETTINGS
LOAD BALANCE SETTINGS
BROWSER OUTPUT
After these settings when i call 192.168.2.15 it hits to 192.168.2.16/index.asp and it's only show this page
BROWSER OUTPUT
it never shows other two pages from two servers.
Refreshed page with shift+F5 multiple times, cleared browser and server's cache, no matter what i do it only shows page on Web Server 002/192.168.2.16 and never hits to main server/192.168.2.15 or third server/192.168.2.17.
On the almost all how to documents on the web, they are using domain instead of LAN IP addresses, is that what i am doing wrong? I'm working on local network that's why should i edit the hosts files of the servers and clients to work with domains? Does ARR requires at least 3 servers(main server for farm configuration +2 servers for balance) to work properly?
