hi, why biztalk host clustering done adapters file, ftp , msmq adapters , nlb done http adapter, soap adapter , wcf http adapters. how know should preferred in case. hopefully question makes sense. thanks. the file, ftp , msmq/wmq clients biztalk activated, meaning run within biztalk.  have no internal concurrency management 2 clients (in 2 host instances on 2 servers for example) can request same message @ same time unaware of each other.  so, these types of clients should run in clustered host instance ensure 1 instance of receive location active @ time. http/soap client activated, meaning external client make inbound connection.  nlb route each incoming connection 1 machine @ time if 2 instances of receive location active, 1 connection/message. note, cannot run windows cluster services , nlb on same 2 computers.
