MFT clustering and receiving internal transfers
For example, if I have node1 and node2 MFT servers in a cluster, how do the internal users know which node to transfer the files to?
I'm assuming this can be done with a third part load balancer but I just want to get an idea of how others have handled this.
Thank you.

The API call has a "Server" parameter. You put both servers in the parameter and if it can't connect to the first, it connects to the second.

I plan on using a load balancer and round robin to each of the MFT servers.
We also have many users with auditor abilities on the MFT server.
If there are 2 nodes running the MFT then I'm assuming the https 8001 port can be used through an internal load balancer as well?
