For creating an ISA array, you need AD. If you dont have AD, and still need fault tollerance, look into NLB solution. If you have AD in place just look into ISA arrays. Arrays are better as they also provide service level fault tollerance and CARP.

How can you create an array of two ISA's in standalone mode? without AD. I have FW client in all my pc's so maybe it's preferable. What choice is better? NLB in DNS or arrays in ISA console. Regards.

The specific reason why I did not use arrays is because arrays require Firewall client software to be installed in all workstations. Arrays also make use of CARP for cache lookup, this is a plus. However, if you dont want to use FW client in all workstations, NLB is a good choice.

Any drawback to this compared to the NLB? -----Original Message----- From: Periyasamy, Raj [mailto:psraj@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 9:10 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Cluster technologie ? http://www.ISAserver.org It's a feature available in Advanced Server. I have two identical ISA servers. both are load balanced with NLB. Users access the ISA server using its virtual name. NLB server automatically divides the load between the 2 servers, and in case if one server fails, all users are moved to the surviving server.

Users are automatically moved to the other server in case if one fails. However, NLB does not provide fault tolerance for service failures. For this you may combine the Service recovery feature of Windows 2000 and NLB to achieve some level of fault tolerance and recovery.

The fact is that I want to my users not be deconnected if the ISA Server fall down !
