Hi Bob,

How does one create it? And how can you tell if you've achieved load balancing or not? Also is there software to baseline it? What about if anything needs adjustment or changes? Can one make any changes after an install to improve load balancing or are you stuck with what you've got? 

Thanks for all the info Guys.
