Has anybody had problems with a BES environment hosted on VMWare EX4 server. I've got two BES machines (in HA), Two Exchange servers (mirroring a BESMgmt database), and a single BAS/BMS server, all in VMware. I've got a DNS-round-robin set up for the three BES/BAS servers which seemed to work fine for a few days. Now, when I try to login to the BAS, I have to use the specific server names in the link (https://servername/webconsole/login) instead of the DNS-round-robin name. Then, after typing the username/password to login, it takes almost exactly 3 minutes (give or take a second or two) to login and dispaly the BAS page.
The last time this happened, I enabled the "TCPPing instead of UDP" settings and it seemed to work.

Does anybody have similar problems with VMWare, or am I missing something?

BES in VM works great. I've had issues with other sites I wanted to use DNS round robin on within VM. Not sure if it was a VM issues or not. We moved to a MS Load Balance set up with the shared IP being the DNS entry (webserver A and webserver B have two NICs one is for the Server IP and the other is the load balanced website). I'm not sure I would have tried to round robin the BAS. Are you using the Enterprise version of ESX, so you have a cluster of ESX servers?
