INTRODUCTION

A Windows Server 2008 update is available that lets you use the remote procedure call (RPC) redirection (RDR) interface to enable or disable custom load balancing based on server name and port number.

Currently, RPC maintains a mapping from resource IDs to server names in the registry. RPC also maintains a mapping to a specific resource ID if no resource ID is specified by the calling application. This update provides more fine-grained control over resource IDs when no resource ID is specified by the calling application.

After you apply this update, the RDR interface enables applications that use RPC to set a resource ID for an incoming connection based on a custom rule, such as a mapping between a session ID and a combination of "server name plus port number."

The RDR interface is useful in the following scenarios:
  • Renaming Endpoint servers
    Proxy server names are usually static. However, internal server names can change based on a company's internal network. Therefore, you can use the RDR interface to reduce the possibility of clients discovering new names of internal servers.
  • Nondisclosure of internal server names
    The RDR interface lets companies keep internal server names private, and it discloses only the proxy server name.
  • Custom access checks, redirecting, and load balancing
    The RDR interface allows custom load balancing rules, access checks, and redirecting. However, custom load balancing may not work in Windows Server 2008 for applications that use RPC.
