Internal load balance ilb on ServiceConfiguration LoadBalancers

Question

Hi everybody, I try to setup an internal load balancer using this configuration:
from cscfg:
<NetworkConfiguration>
 <VirtualNetworkSite name="WE" />
 <AddressAssignments>
  <InstanceAddress roleName="Role1">
   <Subnets>
    <Subnet name="WE_WWW" />
   </Subnets>
  </InstanceAddress>
  <InstanceAddress roleName="Role">
   <Subnets>
    <Subnet name="WE_SERVICE" />
   </Subnets>
  </InstanceAddress>
 </AddressAssignments>
 <LoadBalancers>
  <LoadBalancer name="WEB_ILB">
   <FrontendIPConfiguration type="private" subnet="WE_WWW" staticVirtualNetworkIPAddress="192.168.1.5" />
  </LoadBalancer>
  <LoadBalancer name="API_ILB">
   <FrontendIPConfiguration type="private" subnet="WE_SERVICE" staticVirtualNetworkIPAddress="192.168.2.5" />
  </LoadBalancer>
 </LoadBalancers>
</NetworkConfiguration>
from csdef:
<WebRole name="Role1" vmsize="Small">
 <Sites>
  <Site name="Web">
   <Bindings>
    <Binding name="httpIn" endpointName="httpIn" />
    <Binding name="httpsIn" endpointName="httpsIn" />
   </Bindings>
  </Site>
 </Sites>
 <Endpoints>
  <InputEndpoint name="httpIn" protocol="http" port="80" loadBalancer="WEBILB" />
  <InputEndpoint name="httpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="Valuta" />
 </Endpoints>
 <Imports>
  <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
  <Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" />
  <Import moduleName="RemoteForwarder" />
 </Imports>
 <Certificates>
  <Certificate name="Valuta" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="CA" />
 </Certificates>
</WebRole>
<WebRole name="Role2" vmsize="Small">
 <Sites>
  <Site name="Web">
   <Bindings>
    <Binding name="httpIn" endpointName="httpIn" />
   </Bindings>
  </Site>
 </Sites>
 <Endpoints>
  <InputEndpoint name="httpIn" protocol="http" port="8080" loadBalancer="APIILB" />
 </Endpoints>
 <Imports>
  <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
  <Import moduleName="RemoteAccess" />
 </Imports>
</WebRole>
as you can see I have two webroles linked to a vnet:
Role1 has two input endpoint: https and http (the one I want to "internal" load balance)
Role2 has only an http input endpoint (again the one I want to "internal" load balance)
and I try to configure an internal loadbalancer (see here:
vs2013-update3)
When I try to deploy the package I receive this error:
Error: The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid. Verify that the service configuration file is a valid XML file, and that role instance counts are specified as positive integers.  Http Status Code: BadRequest  OperationId:
874024071e88327f8cb73c16f15f3ac2
I'm sure it depends on the ilb configuration because when I remove it the deploy succeed...
Does anybody try something like this?
Thanks,
Simone

I've found a solution by myself with the help of a friend (Sandro Vecchiarelli): the "problem" is that I try to setup two load balancers in one cloud service. Trying with only one work correctly; the error probably is a schema validation and I
really don't know if the error is on "client" schema that allow me to configure more than one ILB (note the node name
LoadBalancers... its plural...) or online (the one on Azure).
By the way...at the moment use just one ILB per cloud service.
Hope this help.
