Associating Lync pools
Before we see the steps required to configure the association between Lync pools, we need to know some limits that we have to respect in order to keep a "supported" situation.
The document on which we have to base our deployment is Best Practices for Pairing Front End Pools at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204697.aspx. The following list includes all the most important constraints:
Enterprise Edition pools can be paired only with other Enterprise Edition pools. Similarly, Standard Edition pools can be paired only with other Standard Edition pools.
The Topology Builder will also allow us to pair pools that are not of the same kind, but this is not to be considered as a validation.
Physical pools can be paired only with other physical pools. Similarly, virtual pools can be paired only with other virtual pools.
Pool pairing is bidirectional; if a pool is associated to another pool, it is not possible to pair an additional pool (that is, there is no support...
