This is what I am suspecting, and I have no problem making a registry = change 
for the oddball site, or a config file change if needed for the = same thing, 
but for national banking firms, they better get their = 'stuff' strait. They 
still say they are working with Microsoft to get it = fixed. I'll let the group 
know when they get it fixed, and what they did = if they will tell me.

Hi Jeff,

The problem is that while the ISA firewall is RFC compliant, you have a lot of 
jokers out there who run Web servers that conform to no standard other than "it 
seemed like a good idea at the time". The thing about firewalls is that they're 
security devices, no convenience devices. There is a direct inverse correlation 
between security and accessibility. But Registry and config file changes are 
part and parcel of every site I've ever managed over the last ten years!

HTH,
Tom

Sorry guys, not the answer.
I have no load balancing, I have only one route to the internet, and that is 
through one ISA server ONLY. As for the MTU size, if that were to work, it 
would not be a acceptable solution for companies to have to go mess with the 
registry to get certain sites to work. Either the sites need to change to work 
with default machine settings or ISA needs to provide a fix.

Now that you know I have no load balancing, any other ideas?
I have never made any changes to the ISA server concerning SSL, but other sites 
work.

Funny I came to the same solution without reading that article ;-)

Additionaly my proxy configuration script even provides a kind of failover 
which is not given by the script from the KB article. The KB article script 
delivers ONE proxy. My version provides a LIST of proxies, including all array 
members and the backup route causing the browser to try the whole list if one 
proxy times out. See the example below:

        // Exceptions to deactivate CARP

        if (shExpMatch(host, "*.bankingdomain.de")||
           shExpMatch(host, "*.bankingdomain.com"))
        
        {
          list = "";
          for (i = 0; i < cNodes; i++) {
                list = list + "PROXY " + Proxies[i].name + "; ";
          }
          
          list = list + BackupRoute;
          return list;
        }


You could also disable CARP for all SSL-Sites which causes less administrative 
work and more friendly users ;-)

        // Deactivate CARP for all HTTPS sites
        
        if (url.substring(0, 6) == "https:") {
          list = "";
          
          for (i = 0; i < cNodes; i++) {
                list = list + "PROXY " + Proxies[i].name + "; ";
          }
          
          list = list + BackupRoute;
          return list;
        } 


Note that you have to insert above sections inside the FindProxyForURL 
function...

Greets,

Christian
