Thanks Joel. Yes we are using the hostname of the servers to access the SRS site on each specific node and that works when a clientgoes directly to the server. Yes we have an F5 VIP that clients can use to call the SRS site, but that does not work. We did not do a setspn for the F5 VIP. Do we need to? Also the webservers are not running IIS. The SRS servers are running SRS server 2008 and we are using the embedded webserver (I think it is the default webserver). The reports on the server can only be accesses vi windows integrated authentication (Kerberos). I suppose the next step is to try to do a setspn for the F5 VIP. What do you think? Thanks.
