If you just create two 'www' A records in Microsoft's DNS Server, won't the
DNS Server automatically dish out the two addresses splitting the traffic?

If so, just publish two sites on ISA and whichever address they get is the
one they go to...

Subject: [isalist] Round Robin With Web Publishing

I would like to know if I can round robin the web sites I am publishing
under ISA 2006.  Basically, the scenario is this:



I have two web servers behind the ISA server, which each have a single
website.  I would like to tell the ISA server to publish both as a single
web site to the outside world splitting the traffic across each of them.  My
idea is to give the ISA server an internal domain name to direct the traffic
too, and that domain name resolves to two IP address, one IP for each web
site.



My question is: will the ISA server split the traffic between the two IP
addresses when it resolves the DNS, or does it maintain an open connection?
Or does it take the first IP, and if not available fail over to the second
IP?



We are running standard edition ISA 2006.  Under SPLA licensing standard
edition ISA 2006 is $18/Month, Enterprise edition is $249/Month.  I would
like to avoid having to upgrade to Enterprise addition if I can get both web
server up under a single external IP in the ISA server.  From what I
understand I can load balance in enterprise edition and not standard
edition.



Kind Regards,

Wayne Berry
