How to check Azure load balancing?

I want to be able to configure the Azure load balancer emulator so that two consecutive calls to a web application always call calls to different instances.

How can i do this? How can I check if the load balancer is working as expected? Using HttpContext.Current.Request.Url and seing if the endpoint port is changing?

Thanks in advance

The default load balancer, which is available for your Windows Azure Web and Worker roles, is a software load balancer and is not as configurable as it is in Round Robin setup. If you want to test this behavior, this is what you need to do:

  • Create two (or more) instances of your service with RDP enabled so that you can use RDP for both instances.
  • RDP to both of your instances and run NETMON or any network monitor solution.
  • Now go to the Windows Azure web application from your desktop.
