I would like to know if we can setup an Active-Active IIS Cluster using Windows Cluster services that shares a common storage to store web content and WITHOUT the use of Windows NLB.
I'm aware that this may not be a best practice or not a recommended setup, however, the setup is to be configured as below:
Two web servers running IIS 7.5 (needs a common storage for web content) for HA and another set of two servers for sql cluster in active-passive mode for HA.
Also is it possible to enable ARR on 2 node active-active IIS cluster for load balancing http requests?
Appreciate if someone replies with both pros & cons of the setup.
Thanks.
Software/Hardware used: Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5
