Alteon Server Load Balencing

[PAGEME1000]

All

I have issues with configuring an Alteon AD3 purchased recently. The sceanerio is as follows:

The user base sits in two areas, locally connected on the LAN and through two firewalls and on a 256k dsl connection. I have three front-end web servers which I would like to load balance. If I enable persistant connections on the AD3 all web sessions go to the last server in the group and nothing is load shared. If I disable persistant connections all sessions are load shared, when internet explorer connects it starts two sessions which go to 2 different servers which then fails and when we connect to our application 6-8 sessions are started which are then load shared equally and again the application fails. It has been recommened to us to disable http keep alives on the web servers.

Can anyone suggest whats going wrong?

Thanks
