TCP/IP: Load balancing, OLE Enterprise

Question:

If I use TMidasConnection with the sockets (TCP/IP)

transport, can I still take advantage of OLE Enterprise load

balancing and fail over? Would I then have to install OLE

Enterprise on the client machines?

Answer:

You can take advantage of OLE Enterprise without installing

it on the clients machines.  Just set up the server (the

machine running SCKTSRVR.EXE) as a OLE Enterprise client.

That way, when a request comes in from a real client,

SCKTSRVR will attempt to create the object, and OLE

Enterprise will intercept and provide the service.
