Will FusionVM be able to scan my web farm located behind a load balancing device?

Yes, but there is no way to assure that all devices will be assessed. This is due to the fact that the algorithm that determines load distribution is not in the VM Server’s control, but rather determined by the load balancing device. Issues that are commonly found across your code base would be found, but machine specific issues might be missed due to the decisions made by the load balancing device. The correct method to ensure that each device is tested would be to place a VM Server that could reach the individual machines in the farm. FusionVM supports the use of Virtual Host Headers so that each machine’s web applications could be tested for known CGI abuses.
