| Introduction |
A Web server farm or simply Web farm is a group of computers
acting as servers and housed together in a single location. A server farm is
sometimes called a server cluster. A Web server farm can be either (1) a Web
site that has more than one server or (2) an Internet service provider that
provides Web hosting services using multiple servers.

Conceptual and contextual mistakes in your article

There are quite numerous mistakes in your article.
They are:
- The article should be titled 'Hosting ASP.NET application..' instead of .NET application
- The article has no mention of the fact that load balancing configuration of IIS to be used in web farms has to be configured separately, and it can only be configured in Windows Server OS, not in client OS such as Windows XP or Vista.
- Using SQL Server to store ASP.NET session data means that you have to install this database server separated with the web servers, otherwise the intention of added performance will be nothing. Also the server farm of the web server has to point to the same db server.
It's true that you can't use in proc configuration easily in a web farm configuration, but it can be done.

Please currect the word "Web Form" instead of "Web Farm".
I think it is not a web farm, it is Web form.
with regards
