We have a SharePoint 2010 installation with the following components:
Server: SharePoint Farm Admin (Central Administration), Web Frontend (dns: server1)
Server: SharePoint Web Frontend (dns: server2)
Load Balancer: F5 BIG IP Hardware Load Balancer (dns: virtual1)
The idea is to have EP on 2 servers to balance load on the 2 evenly. I have installed Enterprise Portal components on both SP-servers and can successfully access and deploy to http://server1/sites/DynamicsAX
However the AX documentation does not state anything on how to correctly configure the Alternate Access Mappings (AAM). By default after installation, AAM is set to:
Internal URL = http://server1 Public URL = http://server1
When I specify http://virtual1 as the default address in AAM, load balancing works perfectly, however I get an "end of line, SOAP exception" error when I try to deploy EP updates from AX.
Does anyone know how to configure this correctly so I can both load balance correctly, and be able to deploy at the same time?
