IIS Load Balancing (Alteon hash) - Connection Timeout

Hey all,

I've inherited the task of managing our Windows 2000 Server IIS 5.0 load balanced servers. The servers are not in a NLB or Clustered environment. The servers host multiple IIS site via IP address. The Alteon handles the load balancing by passing off traffic/sessions to each server based on the hash algorithm. The content for all hosted sites are replicated on each server through a scheduled robo-copy script.

Our issue is that users within and outside our network get a time out error "the server at is taking too long to respond" on a random interval when they hit one of our sites in IIS. This error comes up immediately when someone tries to hit the address, there is on waiting or loading time. A page refresh loads the page correctly. At first I thought it was an ASP.NET 1.1 issue, but I have created a static HTML page that gets the error also. Any ideas on a configuration change in IIS or should I look to the Alteon for this error.

Thanks,

Roger
