Windows 2003 Server Network Load Balancing question

I need clarification on this:

You have 2 servers, each with 2 gigabit network cards. One NIC on each server connects to a switch. That switch, in turn, connects to another switch which has your workstations attached?

Now, do you want to load balance between the two servers using 1 NIC on each server? Or do you want to use all 4 NICs for load balancing between the 2 servers?

I'm going with 2 NICs to load balance.

You run the risk of bogging down your servers if they're not high-powered enough. Load balancing over 4 nics.. never tried that before.

You're going to get stuck hitting Microsoft for this one... you have two options:

Network Load Balancing and Clustering:

NLB is sharing network load while maintaining multiple copies of the same data..

Clustering is having multiple computers acting as one, all storing the same data across multiple computers where the network traffic really doesn't matter.

Make sure you want NLB and not clustering in this case.

As far as using all 4, the Microsoft steps I believe I posted should handle it. You have to go in and add it then configure it. They list what you need to do when connecting to a layer 2 and layer 3 switch.
