load-balancing

I need to configure windows NLB on 2 dedicated servers I have.

My main machine has been running for some time, with several domain names pointing to the servers primary IP address.

Both servers have 2 NIC's installed, and both have several secondary public IP addresses available if needed?

What IP address would I use for the cluster IP, does this IP need to be added to the IP list of both public NIC's ip address list?

What IP addresses do I use for the host's dedicated IP?

Please help, this is driving me nuts...i've taken down the server twice on accident today!

Thank you in advance!
