RE: Virtual IP and Load Balancing?

Hi Mike,
I'm not that hot on the networking side, so am struggling a bit on this one.
Am i correct in thinking that when you say "subnet" you are referring to the
xxx.x.26.x part, as the subnet mask on the VIRTUALIP address has to be all
255's?
And therefore i'd need a router to transfer from the normal 26 network and
the new one (27?)

TIA

Regards,
Stuart
