Hi Rick,

A couple of other things worth trying, off the top of head:

1. Reduce the disk cache size to something more resonable, like maybe
2-4 Gigs

2. Increase the memory dedicated to the cache to something larges, like
60%

3. Make sure you're using the Web Proxy client config and turn off the
HTTP Redirector; configure the Web Proxy clients to use the
autoconfiguration script.

HTH,
Tom

Hello,

I am in a real bind....

Does anyone have information a tweaking the performance of ISA and the
cache? I have read many articles but none that is helping.

Our configuration consists of:

ISA Enterprise edition in Integrated mode

2 Compaq servers

Load balanced with RainWall

Win2K Advanced server

PIII 2@500 MHZ

2 GB Memory

29000 Megs of cache.

Inside NIC is GigaBit

Outside NIC is 10/100 running at 100.

Caching is set to 40%, No Less Than: 50 Mins., No More Than 1 Day

Active caching is set to "Frequently"


At times the performance is horrible! I can verify this by bypassing ISA
and
go directly to the web and see a large difference in performance....I
really
don't get it. MS has looked over our config. from a past issue and said
our
config. was good. I am having a rough time finding a bottleneck here, I
had
better performance from MS Proxy 2.0.....

ANYthing would be helpful at this point. 

Thank you,

Rick
