Actually we plan to use a combination of NLB & ISA array as a firewall routing traffic between vendor and internal VLANs. We are already routing traffic between the 2 VLANs and are using OSPF on Windows 2000 server with 2 NIC's We plan to use NLB for redundancy, fault tolerance and of course load balancing. ISA would be used to restrict unwanted traffic from outside or vendor VLAN. We can consider our implementation of ISA closer to server publishing, if even that.

Are you using ISA for web publishing or server publishing? -----Original Message----- From: Chhatwal, Raminder S.

I am not very familiar with NLB. I have 2 specific questions, I would appreciate if you could help me with these. 1. Using NLB is it possible to configure a virtual IP that all the client workstations would access and than NLB would load balance between the real IP's on the servers. 2. I am thinking NLB and ISA are 2 separate things. If so, do I need to work with these in a specific order. I am planning to implement NLB first and then restrict traffic using ISA. Thanks Again.

I am using it on external NIC and loadbalancing multiple applications. On ISA I am using Server publishing rules. What exactly you want to know.I am in the process of documenting it and will share it with rest of the list. -----Original Message----- From: Chhatwal, Raminder S.

Is there a way to load balance the traffic between 2 servers and configure a virtual IP.
