This is an interesting, and timely, discussion. I sat through a webcast
yesterday about SurfControl being bought out by WebSense, and their
roadmap for future development. A decision we have to make reasonably
soon is whether to migrate to WebSense, continue using the current version
of SurfControl (only a short-term solution), or search for an replacement
web filter.
If WebSense really requires two servers to operate efficiently, then maybe
we should be looking for an alternative.

I have 2 dell blade 1855 (4gb and 2 xeon) working as an ISA2006 array with
websense filtering service running on them and everything work fine,
without any slowness.
The difference is that I run the policy and log services on another
server, that is the heavier part of websense. That array is serving about
2000 users.
I would try moving the policy and log services to another box, to see if
that fix your issue, even if that cannot be your final scenario you will
be able to see if that is cause of the problem. I'm using websense since
long time ago and never had performance problems (ISA2000, 2004, 2006).

http://www.ISAserver.org

Hi,
If there is an equivalent Websense list I should ask these to, please
let me know.
I am installing ISA 2006 with Websense to provide Internet
blocking/reporting. I installed an initial test last week, which
whilst working, is not perfect - all components are on the ISA box,
and it is noticeably slowing down performance (how someone hasn't
noticed I will never know).
I have read through all the documentation several times, and have
another setup to try, which includes:
* Two servers, both joined to the domain.
* 1 ISA 2006 server with KAV plugin installed, and the Websense
plug-in.
* 1 Websense server consisting of the main Websense components,
barring the network agent, or any log-on agent (as ISA should provide
this to Websense). I will also install reporting tools on this
system.
* Both servers are dual Zeons at 2GHZ with 2GB of RAM, we are around
150 users, but moderate Internet load as we have a news website.
Is anyone using a similar config, or does anything look obviously
wrong there?
Thanks.
Andrew.
