Load balancing Connection Servers

VMware Horizon provides no native method to load-balance client requests to Horizon Connection Servers. It is recommended that you implement some sort of load-balancing method to help balance the client connections across all the Horizon Connection Servers in your infrastructure. While methods such Round Robin DNS and Microsoft Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) could be used to provide basic load-balancing capabilities, a physical or virtual load-balancing appliance is the preferred method due to the advanced features and capabilities these platforms typically offer. The next section provides an overview of the capabilities of dedicated load-balancing solutions.
