Jim, sorry, I lost you there. What exactly do you mean with 'back-end firewalls'? This is the setup: there are some 8 or 9 switches which operate 2, 3 or 4 (or whatever the exact number is) VLANs. There's a single internet connection (10 Mbit) the VLANs clients have to have access to. Inbetween we have the FW-1 box, which I want to replace with ISA. Thinking about it, when I assign the port to the VLANs I will have multiple IPs on the NIC. Which doesn't enable routing between the networks by default, if I'm not mistaken. Well, as I already said, I will have to check out the docs. I'm not sure if I like the idea of you raising your hackles (whatever this is ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 12:35 AM > To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] > Subject: [isalist] Re: ISA and VLAN (partly OT) > > > http://www.ISAserver.org > > > I thought we were talking about ISA Server vs. internal > infrastructure switches (HP, as IIRC), not back-end > firewalls..?
