Hi Andrew,
For your reference, my network frame is
Guest Server 1) & 2) and other local LAN PC are
within the same network segment protected by Guest
Server 1) as firewall.
It is not a network within Host & Guest Server itself.
So I need two NICs and have a setting of 2) to host internet
access for whole LAN.
The physical server's hardware configuration is:
CPU: 2.8G Intel Xeon (1MT cache & HT) X 1
RAM: DDRII PC3200 1G
HD: 73G SCSI X 1
80G SATA 150 X 1 (for backup usage)
Vitual PC's setting & service is:
Guest 1): 512RAM/16G HD capacity
DC
Guest 2): 384RAM/10G HD capacity
ISA with web access filter plug-in
Is that a good solution VS SBS?
Thanks,
Roy Tsao

Hi Roy,
I currently run my two DC's, Exchange and Web Server on a dual P3-1Ghz,
2GB of RAM, and 4 x 40GB IDE hard drives (8meg cache) in 2 x RAID 1
configuration. My host runs on one mirrored drive while my VM's run on
the other.
To do what you want there is no need to have two physical network
adaptors in your computer. I have my ISA 2004 running in another GSX
Server on another box which the HOST only has 1 NIC enabled, my ISA 2004
VM has 2 NICs one for External and one for Internal.
I would think you could run your VM's on a P3-800 or higher, with 1GB of
RAM, and a 40GB hard drive (since they don't come smaller today)..
"1) Windows Server 2003 running as DC (one vitual NIC)
IP: 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0
(bridged to Host Internal NIC)
as DC/DNS/DHCP server"
This only requires 256MB of RAM, 4GB HD, and 1 NIC under a VM session.
"2) Windows Server 2003 running as ISA2K4 (one vitual NIC)
IP: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
(bridged to Host Internal NIC)
Network frame:
Wan connection: ADSL PPOE connection through Guest Server
2)
Host Server and other Lan PC's connection to
Wan through Gateway 192.168.0.1 like a physical
ISA2K4 Box"
Not sure what you are trying to do here. But you can certainly host your
internet connection through this ISA box by adding another NIC to it
(WAN/LAN) even if you do the one NIC in your host machine scenario. ISA
should ideally have 512MB of RAM, 4GB HD, and 2 NIC's under a VM
session. Or in your case if you want to do something different 1 NIC.
Andrew

In my past post, I want to implement a more wider service
Like ISA/SQL/DC etc. on one phsical server. For security
Concern, so far the recommendation from ISAServer forum
Is to use SBS. However we could have one more idea by utilizing
Vmware GSX server like below for my network:
- Host OS: Windows Server 2003 (two NICs)
External NIC: any but no DG IP
Internal NIC: 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0
- two Guest Server (Through Vmware GSX):
1) Windows Server 2003 running as DC (one vitual NIC)
IP: 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0
(bridged to Host Internal NIC)
2) Windows Server 2003 running as ISA2K4 (one vitual
NIC)
IP: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
(bridged to Host Internal NIC)
Network frame:
Wan connection: ADSL PPOE connection through Guest Server 2)
Host Server and other Lan PC's connection to
Wan through Gateway 192.168.0.1 like a physical
ISA2K4 Box
Lan connection: Guest Server 1) as DC/DNS/DHCP server
Firewall protectiont o Host Server from External NIC:
enable firewall protection, close up all communication port
through
TCP/IP
Dear Jim and other cool guys, is that a good idea suppose the host
server
Has engouth CPU capacity and RAM?
Thanks for your suggestion in advance!
