FMS Server Balancing

Hello again. I run a FMS 3.5 Server and I want to add additional FMS Servers and load balance the traffic. The plan is to use a script for the developer version of FMS that forwards two incoming FME streams to the different servers, so each FMS Server has all streams. Is there a script for this? In addition there is a need for a script that somehow redirects the users to the server with the lowest users/bandwidth in use. Can somebody provide me  with such a script or help me? Would appreciate it. Any other solutions would be welcome to get the same results.

    I don't know of any publicly available code that does what you're looking for. I typically write an application that continually polls the admin services of each FMS in the cluster to handle load balancing.

    That said, I think what you're planning would violate the terms of the EULA for the FMS dev edition. I recall reading that you can only use the dev edition for deployment when not used in conjunction with additional FMS servers.... you might want to check into that.
