Wow, my English sucks... Among others, I meant " I think this is not really
FTPServer-related so"

As Toli said, I don't think this is not really FTPServer-related so, in case
you don't get a response, I would try a more specific forum about
LBs.Anyway, in a scenario like the one Toli described, FTPServer should need
no configuration changes at all- you just have to make sure that your LB is
routing the data connections to the appropriate host ( if you sticked to
active mode, with the data connections being initiated by the FTP server
itself, i think you wouldn't need any special configuration in the LB, but
it should be easy to configure your LB to serve ftp connections correctly).

Sachin,
I didn't personally setup the LB so unfortunately i can't give you a
detailed answer. I believe that LBs support some "stickiness" per
session, so once a connection is established from a given incoming IP
it's always routed to the same target server.
You are better off asking around in network-admin forums on how to set that up
sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Hi Toli,
There should be some more config changes due to the dual port nature of the
protocol right? How do you handle all the data connections on your lb and
make sure they are sent to the same ftp server?
Thanks
Sachin

Sachin,
We use basic load round-robin load balancing via a separate hardware
LB, and our ftpserver instances point to a shared NFS.
works pretty well for us - we just have 2 separate instances running
on 2 separate physical machines.
so yes, we've done that, but it probably doesn't answer your use case
since it's a trivially simple load-balancing example...
