Greg,
Thanks for explaining this, but I haven't got the complete answers:
1. As you explained in the File and FTP adapter scenario, they will both be looking for the same file and who'll ever get it first will process it, thats how load is balanced b/w those host instances. But why cant we do the same for MSMQ, have a queue server rather then a Remove Server, the queue is placed there, and have both queue host instances listening to there and whoever get it first can process the message?
2. If that is not possible, is there any other way we can load balance MSMQ messages or you are ruling out any possiblity of that?, Also please kindly tell me if load balancing is possible with WebSphere MQ?
3. Lastly From your explanation I infer that the statement 'BizTalk itself load balances b/w host instances' is in correct, because it is dependent on the adapters, whether they support load balancing or not?
Hope to listen from you soon,
Regards,
Sajid.
