Hi Phil,
 
Also, make sure that you don't have Nachi or some other traffic
generating worm on your network.
 
HTH,
Tom

        Hi Glenn,
         
        So PSS wasn't about to solve your VPN gateway to gateway issue?
Didn't they give you to rollup hotfix that solved the dreaded DNS
publishing issue? 
         
        Thanks!
        Tom

        Jim - in fact I have posted many issues and have received many
valued responses, even from you, in fact when I opened my Microsoft
support ticket, I asked the 2nd level support engineer about ISA
Discussion Group in reference to Tom and yourself,

        he told me many Microsoft ISA support engineers use this same
forum and know about you, so believe me, it is not like I was coming in
cold, My evaluation is accurate based on my experience and the way I
NEEDED to use ISA. As for a total enterprise solution, Most Enterprise
firewall solutions roll in VPN support, either client VPN or firewall to
firewall, like my old Axent Raptor firewall which is 6 years old, so
this is not a new idea, Microsoft choose to use RRAS because it already
existed in earlier releases of Server operating systems, Yes, it is true
RRAS is not necessary for ISA to function as a Firewall, Web Proxy, but
to complete the total Enterprise requirements it is if you wish to
connect Branch offices, and I am saying that I had reliability issues
with RRAS, it simply was not stable, the times I had to reboot my ISA
server RRAS would take minutes to complete the connection and sometimes
not at all, I reboot Raptor and I can start pinging remote hosts

        on the other side of the world even before the OS allows you to
login, so believe me there is a huge difference. I am not arguing the
case to scrap ISA, if I did I am sure I would be flamed by Microsoft
supporters. As far as waking up Dorothy, I guess she is already walking
the streets, because my 6 year old Axent Raptor firewall functions as my
Firewall, Global Branch Office VPN and DMZ server, everything needed to
run the operations here in my office, so I guess I do have my bag of
chips Jim.
