I didn't think they were all WAN connections. ??

Why not just setup a VPN concentrator and just have them all do a B2B with him and you'd get all the happy goodness in the flavor of one subnet..... They obviously all have a internet connections of some type.... -----Original Message----- From: Troy Radtke [mailto:TRadtke@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 12:22 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Multihomed ISA Server--Please your opinion is very important http://www.ISAserver.org Well, if he has 16 WAN connections coming into his NOC, then it's probably being routed already and just needs aggregations like 802.1q will let him do. A Cisco 6500 series with a single 48 port blade with a built in RSM would do the job nicely. Each port is it's only VLAN number, use the RSM to route all of them to the single server and back, but not between each other..... But that's still not a great/cheap way to do it...... I'd have to think about it...... Too many ???? on his end to come up with a good solution..... -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 12:05 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Multihomed ISA Server--Please your opinion is very important http://www.ISAserver.org How about 802.1q VLAN tagging?

It'd be ugly.... and I'd hate to try and figure out what USB NIC is which when you have an issue..... And USB is a polled bus so your throughput drops with more devices just even plugged into it.... Now, technically, you could put in a 4 slot riser card if your PCI slot supplies enough voltage to the bus. That right there would give him 16 NIC ports with quad cards..... But then you'd have to lose the case for the system...... Bleah, any way you cut it, change your network infrastructure...... You're going about this the hard way.... -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:johnlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 11:50 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Multihomed ISA Server--Please your opinion is very important http://www.ISAserver.org Absolutely not. I would even doubt the MB would be able to handle it if you could find such a device. What you need to use is a managed layer 3 switch connected to the LAN nic of the server. Then you use the switch to create and control access to your various internal networks.
