It *can* apply to ISA; not because of ISA in particular, but because of
the RSS issue itself.
What's noteworthy is that the question of whether or not it can affect
you depends (whodathunkit) on the NICs and drivers.
I'm still fighting with the Exch folks about their ISA-domain-FUD
statements...

Does anyone speak PSS? I think that this might apply to ISA, but given
the SBSoid writing of this article, it's hard to tell.
You cannot host TCP connections when Receive Side Scaling is enabled in
Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;927695
"SYMPTOMS
You cannot host Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections when
Receive Side Scaling is enabled in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with
Service Pack 2 (SP2). The TCP connections are reset. This problem occurs
if you use Network Address Translation (NAT) and if the host computer is
configured to be an Internet Connection Sharing host server computer."
First, what does it mean to "host" TCP connections? Does it mean
"terminate" connection?
Does it mean something else?
Second, "if you use a NAT"
NAT where? In front of the box? Behind the box? On the box? At Tim's
house?
Third "if the host computer is configured to be an Internet Connection
Sharing host server computer"
Does this apply ONLY to ICS? What about RRAS NAT? What about ISA NAT?
Someone needs to tell these guys that we really don't live in their
heads, even though they might hear voices. ;)
Thanks!
