limitations

[Steve]

I have a new Win2008 TS farm setup with NLB > TS Session Broker. I was
wondering if Win08 NLB was still limited to 32 servers and if so will 2008
work with 2 farms initially balanced with round robin?

Yes, it is limited to 32 nodes. If you need more you will have to split into
two groups and use DNS Round Robin as you mentioned.

A much better alternative is to use something like the 2X LoadBalancer. Not
only it has no limitations, it is resource based and has built in RDP over
SSL.
