Hi,

I set up a new IIS instance on two of my load-balanced web servers to run the 128 bit SSL portion of our site. I'm required to force that level of encrytion whn you hit that site. I'm trying to set up a new test that will verify that the SSL instance of IIS is still running on both machines. If I hit the friendly URL:

https://secure2.spatula.com/registratio ... nitor.html

The test will succeed. However, if I try to bypass our load-balance hardware and hit each web server individually by their IP, it fails:

https://192.168.0.100/registration_hostmonitor.html


Do you know why this is happening and what I can do to get around it? I really need to be able to test both web servers so that I know they are being balanced correctly and that they are both up and running.

Unfortunatelly I cannot check your server. I think its in your Intranet?. Probably you should enable "Accept SSL/PCT certificates with invalid host name" option (located on Miscellaneous page in the Options dialog).
