MQSeries.net :: View topic - Queue Manager with Load Balacning using Switch

I have two servers ( A and B )which are not clustered boxes , but load balanced by a Hardware switch. Switch has a virtual IP address different from either of the boxes.

I have same named queue manager ( lets say SHARED.QMGR)and receiver channel on both the boxes. On a third box ( C )I have a diferent queue manager ( lets say SENDER.QMGR) and a sender channel corresponding to receiver channel.

I have an application on C to send files to either A or B. When I first sent a file it arrived on A and after some time when I sent a file , the channel went in retry. ( Channel Disconnect interval is only 10 seconds and I tried after 30 minutes ).If I reset both receiver and sender channel to Message Sequence number 1, next file goes to machine B.

Does anybody have an idea as how I can configure queue manager and channels in this situation such that I can have queue manager on both boxes and would be able to achieve load balancing.

Thanks a lot in adavance.
