NLB settings transferred over to another network card and NLB has been
re-established and now both ISA servers are showing green ticks for NLB :)

Looks like one of the load balanced NICs isn’t a happy bunny and ceasing to
respond. So I am going to attempt to setup the spare NIC on the server for NLB.

John,
99 times out of 10, this combination generally points toward a NIC driver
problem.
Have you checked for updates to these?

We have a pair of ISA 2004 Enterprise servers NLB’d and publishing a good
selection of services/websites
Recently we have been having issues whereby, connections from outside to one
website in particular fails and the error shown in the browser is
The server is too busy. Please try it again later
Yet, internally the website works OK.
Rebooting both ISA servers tends to resolve the issue, yet the last time I did
this the website started working and then stopped.
Next morning I checked the website externally and it worked. …Odd.
With it working I left it be.
A couple of days later(while I was off) the same website dropped out again,
with the same error. This time rebooting the servers didn’t fix it.
A fix was done on the f/w to bypass ISA and go direct to the website, this
worked instantly. I suspect ISA was/is at fault.
At the same time, a couple of other sites published via ISA also stopped
working, but the reboot fixed this.
On my return I have trawled event logs and noted a few re-occurring errors.
The Configuration agent has restored its connection to the Configuration
Storage server 'ourisaserve.our.domain '.
ACE/Server is not responding. Run SDTEST on Windows or sdinfo on Unix to
verify port and IP address of ACE/Server. Make sure ACE/Server process is
running.
Network Timeout - - ACE/Server was responding but has now stopped.
Web publishing rule [Published site (1xx.1xx.2xx.xx] failed because the Web
listener selected for the rule is not valid. Verify that the Web listener
specifies a valid IP address on this computer.
Web publishing rule [Published site] failed because the Web listener selected
for the rule is not valid. Verify that the Web listener specifies a valid IP
address on this computer.
There is no suitable network adapter related to network 'External'. Network
Load Balancing cannot be configured properly, and will be stopped on this
server. A suitable network adapter must have a static IP address that belongs
to the network and is different than the cluster Virtual IP address.
The Web Proxy filter failed to bind its socket to 1xx.1xx.2xx.xx port 443. This
may have been caused by another service that is already using the same port or
by a network adapter that is not functional. To resolve this issue, restart the
Microsoft Firewall service. The error code specified in the data area of the
event properties indicates the cause of the failure.
These errors are take off the servers in the application log.
In ISA I have also seen that NLB has stopped working as well along with other
alerts shown inside ISA application
Looks like another reboot tonight to bring NLB back into sync.
No windows patches have been applied for a while on either servers.
Thanks
John
