i have a farm with one front end server and database server. i want put more 2 front end servers but i dont' know where? which solution is better putting 2 front end servers on same location where is front end server and database servers and i create load balancing on those servers or i create front end server each location from two?
So i must configure load balance service to get the main functionality of adding new WFE ??
Do i have to Join web front end server to the internal domain ?
Hello,
At the begining of yours articles the schema indicate that front end was load balance i not have find anything where you setup this fonctionnality. may you use nlb ???
Thank for your articles and may be for you answer.

You can use both nlb configured on frontends or dns round robin functionality assigning multiple ip entries to the same hostname. In this case the browser will give you a simulated nlb functionality.
Exactly, how does SP know it's a WFE?
Actually in this scenario even the index server is a WFE, we force the users to the WFE servers by DNS and Load Balancing. If in the event of a WFE failure the Index server could potential be a temporary WFE until another box joins the farm.
Where in this process does the WFE server get distinguished from the index server? Seems like the same objects are being installed on all servers.
