IIS-based website with NLB and ARR

Question

I have a test environment where I want to have IIS installed on 2 servers, in such a way that they host a website tied to a single IP balanced via NLB and routed via ARR. I have the two servers with IIS 7.5 installed now.

What I am looking to do is:

1. Host a site inside of IIS using UNC (I can already host a sample site inside of wwwroot locally)
2. Install NLB as a cluster for both servers
3. Install ARR and add a ServerFarm in IIS for both servers

Can anyone tell me if any of this is possible? I have looked into various pages on ServerFault, as well as here on stackoverflow, on IIS.net, on other forums, without success. I just need a basic website that I can get hosted on an internal fileshare via UNC path.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

G

Yes, this is absolutely possible, in fact there are great tutorials on doing just that:
