Heh-heh..heh-heh..heh-heh ISA can't (yet) use multiple public connections where they both serve the whole Internet. You'll have to use teaming (without NLB) to make sure the path is auto-switched to another connection on the same subnet. If the ISP connections use separate subnets, you'll have to defer to an external device for the time being. The archives hold many opinions on that question. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Laudenslager Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 8:26 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: support-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: NLB with ISA 2k6 project... http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Really the only goal here with the project is for hardware redundancy - in case we have a complete server failure, I'd like to have another machine keeps things running. Right now, with all the redundancy on the servers (raid, multiple power supplies, etc.), the actual firewall server itself was our next single point of failure. I've got (3) T1's combined from a single provider at this location combined into a single router. What's the best way to plan for circuit or router failure? I've got an extra Cisco router but was thinking of ordering a circuit from a different provider. What's your thoughts on this? Thanks again for time and consideration. This group has been invaluable in helping our company for many years now. Thanks to everyone on this list! -Paul -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 10:58 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: NLB with ISA 2k6 project... http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- A1 - almost correct; you *can* install (IOW, it's possible to do so) NLB on ISA 2004+ Std Ed, but if you have to call CSS for help, they'll ask you to remove it. It's only supported on ISA 2004+ Ent Ed. A2 - Std Ed works just fine A3 - That's a perfectly fine tutorial. You also have TechNet available to you; http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2006/nlb.mspx The big question to answer is "what specific benefits do you expect to gain by adding NLB to your ISA deployment? -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Laudenslager Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 7:48 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] NLB with ISA 2k6 project... I'm about to play with my first NLB project and have a couple newbie questions... 1) I assume that ISA 2k6 ENTERPRISE edition is needed. Is this true? ISA 2k6 Standard doesn't do NLB? 2) I'm going to be using Server 2k3 or 2k3R2. Is Enterprise or Data Center edition needed for that as well or can I get away with Standard edition of Server? 3) Are there any 2k6 NLB tutorials out there... I found and printed out the ISA 2k4 NLB tutorial at http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Installing-Configuring-ISA-Server-2004-En terprise-Edition-Part2.html Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. -Paul ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
