But the ISA firewall is surely more secure than what you're using?
Why waste the security you paid for (I assume you paid for the ISA
software?)

Hi Amy.
Not connection limits - I've disabled any limits.
DNS works just fine for everything else, and lookups work in
general. Both simple and recursive.
It's not intended to protect - I have existing hardware
firewalls deployed which do the job just fine.
All I want it to do is proxy.
If I have time to reconfigure & learn ISA more fully after the
project then I'll reconfigure it.
Right now I just want it to not cause me problems.
Can you suggest any resolutions to the problem?

Might be connection limits or a problem with your DNS or
workstation setup in general. Just from the brief description you gave
of your ISA configuration it sounds like it might not be set up properly
at all. Firewalls don't interfere, they protect.

Subject: [isalist] ISA server problem - connection refused.
Hi all.
I have an ISA server 2004 box deployed as a web proxy.
I have set an allow any-any rule to stop the firewall
interfering.
I have my users proxying through this box to the web.
It works 95% of the time. The rest of the time, i get a 10061
connection refused error.
If i refresh the page, it generally refreshes the first time.
This happens on many sites & has been seen nmultiple times on
microsoft.com, bbc.co.uk, isaserver.org.
Sometimes images do not load on a page, but this is fairly rare,
and some of the images may load.
Some will load, some will not.
I have tried to isolate 'problem sites' but this has not worked
- the error seems totally random.
The only common occurance I have noted is that after one error,
some clients - not all - seem to have trouble
connecting to any site for the next 30-60 seconds, instead
receiving the error over and over.
I have only seen this on 2 of 40 clients.
I have tried disabling all web filter add-ins, caching, ip
routing, ip filtering, etc.
Basically i've tried every button i can find in ISA 2004!
nothing makes the problem better.
It's also hard to test since it's intermittent.
The ISA server is directly connected to a firewall which filters
traffic, but this device works fine 100% of the time when
web traffic passed via it instead of ISA.
ISA is reporting no errors in the console. There are no errors
in the syslogs.
Does anyone have any ideas short of uninstalling ISA & getting a
refund?
Thanks,
