Will Windows 2003 NLB be able to handle the symmetric routing?

        Hi Paul,
         
        Thanks! I appreciate your kind words about my presentation :-)
         
        There are several advantages that RainWall has over the Win2k
NLB:
         
        1. The major one is symmetric routing. If you want to have
inbound and outbound fault tolerance, NLB can't fill the bill. You have
to choose one or the other.
         
        2. While you can use HTTPMon, RainWall is aware of all ISA
Server services, and can be make aware of other Win2k network and system
services. RainWall can also be made aware of other network and
non-network services.
         
        3. VPN gateways can be a nightmare with NLB. They work great
with RainWall
         
        4. From the information I have, it costs much less to run
RainWall than to upgrade to Win2k Advanced Server.
         
        There's are lot more cool stuff in RainWall than I had time to
go over. Look for my articles on RainWall at www.isaserver.org in the
next few weeks.
         
        Thanks!
        Tom

                Tom,

                I was very impressed with the presentation that you gave
yesterday with the Rainwall product.  The only thing that really caught
my eye in the difference of Microsoft's Load Balancing was that it was
unable to fault tolerent if an ISA service was to fail (without
configuring HTTPmon).  My question is:  Does the cost of RainWall
justify the cost of having to upgrade a server to Windows 2000 Advance
in order to do Network Load Balancing.  

                 

                Exactly what is the cost in licensing Rainwall, by the
way?

                 

                Paul
