Hi John, Thanks! What's really cool is when RainWall and RainConnect start working together. Its a transforming experience to see one of the ISPs go down and then one of the ISA Servers go down, and the users not even noticing that anything bad has happened! :-) Thanks!

Yes. With ISA installed and with an additional add on from MS that will be available. 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. Like Dr. Tom said, the is a lot of function built into RainWall that NLB does not have. Good presentation Dr. Tom. :-) John Tolmachoff MCSE, CSSA IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.
