I have a similar issue. I publish our Exchange servers thru two separate ISA servers. One in dallas..one here in St Augustine. At various random intervals..usually at least once or twice a month...the isa server stops forwarding requests on port 25 to the exchange boxes. No matter what I do...using hypertrm or telnet to connect to the external IP of the ISA box on port 25 does not return the reply from the exchange server. Upon rebooting everything is back to normal. There is nothing in the event logs to point to any sort of issue...I just don't get it. Brian W.

NETSTAT shows an ESTABLISHED connection. I tried disabling/enabling the publishing rule this time and it did nothing. PRE-SP1 had a fix for this that I applied and it seemed to do the job kinda seems like SP1 undid this? -Jay Mobley ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: rogersb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
