795.0. "unable to manage application via ip failover" by STOSS1::DPROSE () Mon May 12 1997 12:01

    I installed clusters v1.1 on a dual 4100 configuration.
    I also put V3.0 of IIS server on each and set up a TCP/IP failover
    object.
    
    
    from a client I can connect to the IP failover object using netscape
    or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is what I expected.
    
    However, from another system running IIS V3.0 if I go to the pull down
    to 
    "connect to another server"
    and I use the ip failover address it will not connect. 
    If I specify the ip address of the actual system in the cluster that is
    running IIS at the time it will let me connect and manage it.
    
    is this expected results????

	No, that is not the expected result.  At least it wasn't for me.  But
	I just validated what you found.  Looks like a bug to me, but I am not
	a qualified entomologist.

795.3I don't see the problem hereDECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerTue May 13 1997 15:006
    I wonder what you're doing different from me?  I can use the IIS
    service manager on my office machine to connect to a system running in
    our lab using the IP alias address just fine.
    
    Can you ping the IP alias address from the machine where the IIS
    manager connection fails?

	Yes, I can access the other server with no problem.

	My configuration is:

		Cluster domain - TwinCities, MPLS is the PDC, STPL is the BDC.
		Other domain - MPO_SSUPP, node NAIAD

	All systems are Alphas.  All are running NT4.0/SP2.  Administrator
	accounts in two domains have different passwords.  I did set up my
	cluster to have names different from what comes from the names in
	our DNS.  So, I put the names in the HOSTS file on NAIAD.  I can ping
	TCweb (floating IP) and MPLS and STPL.  I do not have the client 
	software installed on NAIAD.  I can use IIS to connect to either STPL
	or 16.75.0.168 (STPL's IP address), but I get the error when trying to
	connect to either TCweb or 16.75.0.167.

	Interestingly, I went to another server in another domain and tried to
	access by STPL and received an Access Denied error.  When I try to 
	access by TCweb, I received an Unable to connect to target machine.  Yet
	I am able to connect to NAIAD from this other server.

	I am really getting confused now.
