  Question
  We have 2 front-end web servers (serverA & serverB) to form NLB in DNS called
serverSP.

I would like to know when developing customization using SharePoint Designer
(SPD), should I "Open site" to serverA or B to do the customization and copy
to another server or I can directly "Open site" to serverSP and it will
deploy to 2 servers automatically?

Thanks.

  You should go with your last option, that is, "Open site" to NLB address,
which I assume is what you mean by serverSP, then any modifications are
saved to the SQL content databases, and therefore accessible no matter which
Web front-end server responses to your requests.

SharePoint Designer (SPD) should never be used to save files to Web
front-end servers, that is, you should never open a single file from the
file system with SPD, say from the 12 hive, and save it back.
