I am trying to load balance between 2 physical web servers using compaq's nic teaming and the switch load balancing option. The servers are on a vlan created on a 6500 switch with 2 other servers. The 2 new web servers can ping each other and the other servers and vice versa. All of these servers are then on the DMZ portion of a PIX 515. I have the DNS setup for the shared ip of the web servers. Inside the DMZ the 2 other servers can resolve the webservers' shared address correctly and connect to the teamed webservers. My hosts on the inside of the firewall get page cannot be displayed. I have read other posts and noticed that I needed to have etherchannel setup on the 6500 for the teaming to work properly? However, when I setup two port-channels (one for each servers' 2 nic interfaces) no one can reach the webservers-- in the dmz or inside.
I know I have a "few" issues that make this complicated....
Should the 2 webservers be on 1 port-channel group or each server on its own? (when I configure it as one group with the 4 nic interfaces the other DMZ servers can reach the webservers again but the inside hosts still get page cannot be displayed)
Is there anything special I have to do on the PIX to get this to work externally and internally other than configure the hosts, translations, and access rules?
THANKS!
