I currently have a Windows web server and now want to add a linux web server
to my test network. Since I have 5 static IP addresses I want to assign a
different IP for the linux server. To do this I know I'll have to add
another NIC and create a second listener on the ISA server. This isn't a
problem but since I have the Cisco equipment and have had it for a while I
figure this would be a good time to break it out and start using it. I knew
there'd be some blow-back about adding the Cisco in place of ISA but I'm not
in a position to upgrade to 2006 and figure playing with the ASA would also
enhance my Cisco skills. Since I didn't buy the ASA device from a "reputable
retailer" I'm unsure about the license so I may run into an issue there.
As of right now it's just a thought and after reading up on it there seems
to be a lot that has to be taken into account in regards to managing it. So
I'll continue to do research and just add the listener as time is an issue
with adding the web server.

thanks
