If you use Round Robin this will fail every second time and the user experience would not be any good.

You have to publish the MAC address of the cluster in the switches.Use IGMP Multicast, this is more efficient.Check the clustersettings for Affinety settings. If you are using, for example, the secure gateway also in NLB mode, be sure which host is talking to your NLB. If that's a shared IP, the NLB mchanism will not work if your affinety settings is not right. Really check out your network design!Also keep in mind: NLB will only redirect NEW sessions to another host if one of the nodes fails! Exisiting session will not be reidrected! Also note that NLB only saves you from hostfailures, not application failures. Some tips:
