I have to echo (echo..echo..echo) Tom's question; what's missing from the
ISA logs?
Also, what stops you from combining the log information from IIS and ISA?

Subject: [isalist] Demographics


http://www.ISAserver.org


I'm running into an issue with our ISA server deployment that I'm hoping
someone else can give advice on. First let me say that I think ISA is a
wonderful product.

Our problem consists of the log file information provided by ISA. We use
demographic info for our websites in some extensive manners, i.e., the
client ip, referrer, time, search string, browser type, etc. Our problem is
that ISA doesn't capture all this information for us. Whether using web
publishing or server publishing, we're finding that we can't get all the
info we need from the log files that ISA provides.

Someone at this point may be saying, use server publishing and use the log
file on the web server. Well, good point, but... that won't work. We have
setup a dual path config using two ISA servers. One ISA server is for
incoming traffic and the other is for outgoing traffic. We have the incoming
ISA server setup with the server publishing reg hack so that the internal
clients do NOT see the requesting internet IP address but instead see that
ISA server as the client. We have to do this because of the fact that all
outgoing internally initiated request go out another ISA server. There are
more details but not relevant.

Anyway, the short of it is, has anyone else run  into this and/or has anyone
found a work around for this. If we can't resolve this we can't use ISA to
publish our internal web server and would have to then rethink our ISA
implementation or discard it. We really don't want to do this but...

TIA,
Howard
