Hi Gillian,

The account is configured on the upstream and the downstream send
credentials to the upstream. I don't see how creating different accounts
would be more secure, but you could create two accounts such as ISA1 and
ISA2 and that might make reporting and troubleshooting a little easier.

HTH,
Tom

Question,

What is the recommended setup in a redundant internal ISA server in a
B2B DMZ configuration.

      EXT ISA
                        DMZ

INT ISA1      INT ISA2



My main question is this:

Should I use the same account for the upstream firewall and web routing
rule on both of the internal ISA servers to connect to the upstream
(external) isa server?  Or use a separate, different account.

Are there pro's and con's in each config?

We would use round robin DNS for accessing the internal clients to the
internal ISA servers (config in IE and in Firewall Client).  Therefore,
if one ISA server went down, internal users would still be able to
connect to the other internal ISA and get outbound to Internet.

TIA,

Gillian
