Hello all,

Help!!

I have one I have been fighting for over a month, we have ISA Enterprise
Edition SP1 installed in Integrated mode on Win2K SP3 in an NT domain. We
have two servers using RainWall for load balancing and fail-over. We have
about 1500 users hitting the two servers.

Problem: (we are only having problems with one server) ISA will be
delivering pages with no problem and for no reason the Internet access from
this one server slows down till it no longer serves up any pages. I have
seen many times where begin it's downhill slide by IE saying that it was
"done" downloading a page and the page is blank. Hit refresh and the page
comes up (this does not happen all the time though, it may just slow with no
warning). The server is not locked, we do a "net stop w3proxy" or just
restart the services and it is fine till the next day it will do it again.

We have checked the cache, actually I have replaced the drive with a large
drive and made the cache huge and then incrementally reduced it down to
where we are not using caching at all and still have the same trouble. Also
tried spreading it across multiple drives.

We have formatted the box and re-installed everything, using the ISA
configuration from the box that has no difficulty.

We have all the latest and greatest patches installed.

We have replaced the NIC cards, re-installed TCP/IP, still the same problem.

And checked about every configuration I can think of and still the same
problem.


Any ideas? Someone about to hang me on a flagpole out front if they go
through this much more.....
Thank you,

Rick
