Dear all,

I need your help....I want to configure a Linux box with 3 NIC, ( 
Centos/RHEL ) as a load balancer/fail-over mechanism  for 2 windows web 
application server , if any app server goes down user must not be 
affected by the failure. And if both app servers are up they should be 
load-balanced.

what configurations are required on Linux box...???


----  something like following

                           
                                           +------------+
                                           |            |
                             +-------------+ APP BOX-1  +
         __                  |             |            |
     ___/  \_         +------+-------+     +------------+
