Guys,

I have a question. Do all the nodes in a Network Load Balancing infrastructure need to be part of the same domain?

We have a web server farm using IIS on Win2K AS and our sys admin has made all the webservers part of the domain. I am not a Win2K expert and haven't used NLB before. In a previous company using NT4.0 we would configure all the servers to be standalone but we were using a hardware load-balancer.

What concerns me is that if you manage to compromise one server in the domain, potentially all servers would be compromised.

Anyone know?
