Load Balance RemoteApp with Session Broker behine Gateway Services

[Guest Dylan]

Hi,

 

If we are to setup 6 Windows 2008 Terminal Servers and want to have them

participate in a Terminal Server farm using session manager broker for load

balancing, at the same time, have them run behind one gateway server so these

servers do not have outward facing public address. Is this possible? Would

roles for RemoteApp, Gateway Service and Session Broker all run on one single

server apart from 6 of the Terminal Server that actaully have applications

installed?

 

Thanks.

That is indeed possible as SB and Gateway are not very high load roles, but

keep in mind that there is no role for RemoteApp. RemoteApp is part of the

TS role, so it will run on all 6 servers.

 

Thanks,

Roman

Thanks for the reply Roman. To set this up, I would have one dedicated SB

and Gateway server, both can be on the same server box? 6 separate Terminal

Servers that runs RemoteApps? I would have SB/Gateway server's IP address

created on the DNS for clients to connect, ie. http://mytssrvs/ts (IP

address of the SB/Gateway) and SB will direct the client to one of the TS

that actaully hosts RemoteApp? The RDP connection is still handled through

SB/Gateway even after the application is launched? These TS server will be

accessible from the Internet but I don't want RemoteApp servers to have NAT.

I want them to be behind the Gateway server. Is there a case study document

that you can direct me to on how this is setup?

 

Thanks!
