I am testing out Load balancing on 4 servers.
I have few questions.
1) Is installing TS plus software on all servers a must, if I want to use all 4 for load balancing
2) Should I enable load balancing on servers. I mean , I have srv1, srv2 , srv3, srv4. In Srv1 load balancing I added srv2,3 and 4. Should I do the same for all servers. If I need not what will happen if srv1 crashes?
3) what is the behavior of Load balancing if one server fails?
4) In windows RD Gateway, can be set as entry point and then setup servers for load balancing. Does such option exits in TSplus?
Please advise.

I will answer below :
Yes, load balancing requires that TSplus be installed and licensed on all servers. It is also highly recommended to keep all servers of the farm with the same release.1) Is installing TS plus software on all servers a must, if I want to use all 4 for load balancing
You only need to activate load balancing on one server. If srv1 crashes, load balancing will fail, this can be prevented by activating load balancing on a second server.2) Should I enable load balancing on servers. I mean , I have srv1, srv2 , srv3, srv4. In Srv1 load balancing I added srv2,3 and 4. Should I do the same for all servers. If I need not what will happen if srv1 crashes?
Any incoming connection will be redirected to the most available server.3) what is the behavior of Load balancing if one server fails?
The use of RD Gateway is not supported with TSplus load balancing. You will be able to connect to a load balanced farm with the TSplus web portal or a TSplus connection client.4) In windows RD Gateway, can be set as entry point and then setup servers for load balancing. Does such option exits in TSplus?
Please advise.

Hi UDay,
You can add DNS failover to Srv1, I tested but my TSPlus gateway crash after some time and I have to reinstall the application.
My lab set up srv1, srv2 and srv3 all as gateway and load balancing between all servers, DNS failover order from srv1, srv2 then srv3 if the host offline., when srv1 off all traffic will point to srv2 and the load balancing will still work srv2 and srv3, if srv2 off srv3 still will available.
