In my configuration, the second connection goes over the security server directly. That’s the way I want it with the free Netscaler VPX, because of the 5 Mbit limit. You could use a single VIP setup, but I haven’t tested that configuration. Take a look at video #3 at about 38 minutes. I will try that setup later this week.

Sven-

I watched the #8 video again and found (at 21:00) where they talked about sticky sessions and exposing only one VIP on the load balancer. I am going to find out whether the VPXs can support that.

Sven-

I have been able to get my Netscaler VPX-200s working with VMware View (4.6). Can I ask you a question? When your client makes the connection with the vserver IP on the load balancer, does it maintain that connection and transmit all traffic through that IP address over HTTPS or will the client also make a second connection with the security server and only transmit packets over HTTPS on that connection?

Maybe View doesn’t work that way, but I was hoping all traffic would be routed through the vserver IP address on the Netscaler VPX, and then the Security Server after that. I am interested to see how your client behaves. Perhaps I have configured my Netscaler incorrectly?

Thank you very much!

Maybe you should add the Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit too?
