I'm using the Win2k NLB services with PHP4 and it works fine. You can set the affinity to none, single, or a whole subnet to ensure that your client reaches the same server for that session.... If you use cookies to store your login information then the affinity problem goes away as the cookies will be passed to the server each time.
