Hi
Our test page was a simple aspx page with nothing but a single Cute Editor control on it. We didn't do any special configuration.
Is there any configuration settings that need changing for a load balanced environment ?
I'm no load balancer expert, but according to our tech guys we have a load balanced server in front of the real web servers. The load balancer uses port #9000 and the web servers use port 80. A DNS names entry points to the load balanced server and requests get routed to one of the real webserver.
Doing a TCP-IP trace we discovered that the problem was with the template.aspx and the SyntaxHighlighter.css
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href='<%=ResolveUrl("Load.ashx?type=style&file=SyntaxHighlighter.css")%>' />
The ResolveURL statement was causing a request to port #9000 which timed out after 20 seconds. We commented out the link in the template.aspx (we don't need the syntax highlighter) and removed the cache statement in the template.aspx.
IE loaded the Cute Editor quickly after those changes.
