Web server farms with IIS ? Basic Infos

Question

Can somebody point me to a resource that explains how to go about having 2+ IIS web server clustered (or Webfarm not sure what its called) ?

All I need is something basic, an overview how and where to start. Can't seem to find anything...

Answer 1

What you're after is called Load Balancing.

There's a very good book on the topic:
