Enhanced Microsoft IIS health checks using VBscript
By default, the load balancer uses a TCP connect to the port defined in the Virtual Service to verify the health of the real (backend) servers. For IIS this would typically be port 80. In many cases this kind of health check is adequate but for IIS this if often not the case.
Windows NLB (WNLB) and its disadvantages
Whilst Windows Network Load Balancing (WNLB) has been constantly improved in each version of Windows since it’s introduction in Windows 2000, it still has a fairly extensive list of disadvantages when compared to a hardware or virtual based loadbalancer.
Source IP Addresses, STunnel, Haproxy and Server Logs
When using proxies such as STunnel and HAProxy it’s easy to loose track of the client source IP address. This occurs for example when HAProxy is used in it’s default configuration to load balance a number of back-end web servers. By default, the source IP address of the packet reaching the web servers is the IP address of the load balancer and not the IP address of the client
Heartbleed 2.0? Not exactly but more OpenSSL issues have been found
In the wake of the recent Heartbleed Bug another series of OpenSSL vulnerabilities have been found. Whilst the Heartbleed bug was relatively easy to exploit, the latest batch of bugs are not. However if successfully exploited, there is potential for eavesdropping and traffic manipulation (CVE-2014-0224) as well as running arbitrary code on the vulnerable client or server (CVE-2014-0195)
