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

Re: Load Balance RemoteApp with Session Broker behine Gateway Serv

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!
