Multicast Mode NLB Support in UAG

Yes, it’s true.

UAG SP1 supports Multicast Mode NLB – something it didn’t support prior to SP1.

In an article by Benoit Sautiere at  http://danstoncloud.com/blogs/simplebydesign/archive/2011/06/28/directaccess-in-nlb-multicast.aspx he points out that the information in the TechNet library is incorrect, in that it says that Multicast mode is not supported, and he is correct.

This should be a reminder to you that you shouldn’t take what you read in the TechNet library at face value – many times I have found errors and omissions that I personally found hard to believe. That’s why I trust the information in the TechNet library a bit less than what I read in Product Team and other Microsoft employee blogs – I know that the bloggers are intently focused on their work have their reputations on the line. Information from anonymous writers in the TechNet library? Not so much.

HTH,
