Server information

[Andrew Durstewitz]

Hi! I have a little bit of a problem. I have 4 computers using Network
Load Balancing. They all share 1 Virtual IP to take requests on.

Problem. I can't tell what server is taking the request when I view a
page. I want to make sure the NLB is working correctly. Is there a way
to get the name of the machine or something using asp?

Thanks,
Andrew J Durstewitz

I want to say that request.servervariables("local_addr") will return the IP
of the individual server. If not, you could do something like:

response.write server.CreateObject("WSCript.Network").Computername

Dude you rock! The latter worked.

Make it a habit to use CreateObject("XXX") not server.CreateObject("XXX").
There is a big performance difference and the code is transparent between
asp and vbs.

There are good reasons for using Server.CreateObject on pre-IIS5 servers
(our intranet sites are still on NT4 servers). You are correct if IIS5 and
above is being used.
