I have set up a two node Array with with WLBS on an internal network. I am monitoring the network and there is a tone of broadcast traffic comming from the
cluster.
Is there anything I can do to quite the Broadcast traffic. I have reviewed microsoft
articles on switch flooding and made the recomended changes but it has had no affect.
dose any one have any suggestions ?

OK, then it is Ethernet broadcast, just wanted to make sure.

I believe that broadcasts are done every second. Are you seeing them take place more often than that?
