Other than those servers being old, the only issue I can foresee is
licensing; you'll require a two-proc license to run on those servers, or
since you have two copies, you may be able to run a single two-proc server.
Best that you call MS first, though and get that clarified.
If you dedicate 4GB to the boot/OS partition and the remainder to logs and
cache, you'll be fine. Just don't ask much more of these servers than
this...

Subject: [isalist] Server Selection for ISA 2000 Enterprise

Hey, I purchased 2 cpu copies of ISA 2k enterprise. I was planning on
running the firewall on a stoked dell tower. However due to the
proprietary bios im having other issues with it. I am forced to either
use 1-2 of my older servers or hold out until i can purchase a new server
in august. We are a school with about 400 machines and a T1. I was
thinking about using two dual-200Mhz machines in the array. these
machines are hp servers with about 50GB of SCSI storage on them. Roughly
1/2GB of RAM. Or I can hold out until the near end of summer for a new
server. Id like to have this up and going and then at the end of the
summer add the new server into the array and remove the 2 old servers.
would this work nicely? I would really appreciate any hints, tips,
websites. This is my first firewall installation so any stories or words
of wisdom would be well regarded. thanks!
Miles
