thanks for the reply.

 

 

I have to use 2008 r2, not allowed to use nice new HA in 2012 RDS yet.

 

 

So Lets assume I use F5 on my internal network to host the name of my RDS Gateway farm, the name of my web servers (dns alias).

 

 

Are you saying with F5 I don't need a broker server or that with 2008 R2 I can only use 1 of them. I really don't want to use native MS clustering to have 2 broker servers.

 

 

I always thought the broker server was needed to manage your connections and to reconnect to existing connections ETC.

 

 

many thanks
