Yes. Since all of the Web servers in the cluster access a shared database server, updates will be synchronized by this server, which will keep the shared data consistent. Most of the performance bottleneck typically is in the Web server. Windows NT Load Balancing Service scales the performance of this front-end service and ensures that it provides continuous service to clients. Note that the back-end database server can be made highly available by using Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS).
