This is a publishing question. Has anyone hosted their forms on a web server with load balancing?
In brief, my organisation's intranet is made up of 8 servers with an identical image and users are automatically allocated access to one with the least load at the time. Each of the 8 servers has a unique identifier (eg, web01, web02, etc.) and they all use an alias of
http://intranet.This architecture caused a problem as a result as InfoPath is able to resolve
http://intranet into the physical server name (\\webxx). Therefore, using
http://intranet/xxxx.xsn as the publishURL causes "Insufficient Privilege" error because InfoPath knows a form is in \\webxx.
Therefore, I had to publish the form using \\webxx\xxxx.xsn. It works fine if the I access the form using \\webxx\xxxx.xsn, but if I access it using the alias
http://intranet/xxxx.xsn, it unexpectedly loads the form several times before it pops up onto the view. I really need to get it working
http://intranet because there are policies that the physical server names cannot be exposed to employees. Has anyone experienced the same problem in this clustered environment and has a solution?
