Some hints.
1. increase log verbosity
2. while u connect  tail -f /var/log/nxserver.log

observe for the messages see whats going on.
(i hope u already doing that).

Its basically possible and we have a load balanced
setup using FreeNX 0.6.

u also need a shared storage for the session data
i hope u taking care of that.

we have however used the "load" algo which is bit
complex setup.

all the best.

Hi Mallah,

Could you please explain a little bit more about the shared session
storage and how you have it setup? I saw a document saying either we can
setup forwarding on all the FreeNX backend servers to forward all the
requests to the frontend load-balance server or setup shared sessions. I
tried doing "forwarding" from the slave servers to the frontend server,
but did not see any difference.

Thanks,
Prakash
