Summary: Load Balancing Servers, Firewalls, and Caches
Review: This is a great book for anyone trying to implement any sort of clustering or load balancing on Windows 2000. There is a lot of confusion as to what's needed for clustering SQL server and how to do it.This book provides in-depth information and step-by-step instructions on what hardware you need, how it should be configured, how to install MSCS, how to cluster your SQL servers, and how to load balance your web servers (as well as Exchange). Instructions didn't skip through steps and screen shots were accurate! Thanks Joseph Lamb! Definitely made getting our SQL clustered and web servers load balanced properly much easier.

Summary: One of the Best Books on NLB/Clustering
Review: This is a very good book for anyone who needs to setup a NLB or Cluster. Author walks you thru the entire process and makes good suggestion if your situation is different from the one offered in the book's example. Good book. I wish more IT books would offer same type of help.
