title: Biztalk - how do I set up MSMQ load balancing and high availability?
body: <p>From what I understand, in order to achieve MSMQ load-balancing, one must use a technology such as NLB. </p>
  
  <p>And in order to achieve MSMQ high-availability, one must cluster the related Biztalk Host (and hence the underlying servers have to be in a cluster themselves).</p>
  
  <p>Yet, according to Microsoft Documentation, NLB and FailOver Clustering technologies are not compatible. See this link for reference: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235305" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235305</a></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone PLEASE explain to me how MSMQ load-balancing and high-availability can be achieved?</p>
  
  <p>thank you in advance,</p>
  
  <p>M</p>
