Q: Why would I want Load Balancing?
A: Load balancing is critical for e-commerce sites, search engines and other high volume or mission critical sites that are at the core of the new Internet economy. Load balancing will ensure a highly available Internet presence and optimized infrastructure.

Q: Can Load Balancing be used on services other than web sites?
A: Yes, of course. Any TCP/IP based service can benefit from load balancing. Imagine how you can improve on your mission critical email or news services by redirecting users to a "least worked" server and increasing your uptime.

Q: What is fail-over protection?
A: Fail-over protection is exactly what load balancing is designed to do. Load balancing is used to provide server fail-over protection for mission critical services. Basically, if one server fails, other servers take over the load and your users never experience any problems.
