Hi  Darko,

 

I run back to back networks with ISA and don't' have the slowness problem. I do 
sometimes receive pages that are garbled and look like binary representations 
of the pages and or items that I was trying to download.

After I refresh my page that disappears.  Not sure if this is related to 
caching on ISA or not.  The other issue is how the front end ISA is using DNS 
to get pages or to your backend ISA. And then again from your backend ISA out 
to the front-end ISA and external network. Thomas showed me this link which 
helped on speed 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/isa/2004/plan/disablenameresolution.mspx
  and DNS resolution.

 

Thank you,

 

Joseph

I don't know why this happens, but I have seen it happen here.  In fact, I had 
an open support case with Microsoft at the time about this, and sent them 
diagnostic logs while it was happening, which they are still perusing.

Hi to all,

 

I have installed four ISA Servers 2004 in back to back configuration. (test 
prepare to go live)

I have two downstream isa servers with NIC Teming for every network and NLB 
only for Internal network (caching servers) + two upstream isa servers also 
with NLB and Teaming.

 

Everything works fine (almost perfectly) ... until ISAs suddenly get lazy. ISAs 
retrive sites so slowly that everyone start to complain.

 

I look up in router log (router to internet provider) and I saw that our link 
have always spare 100 kbytes/s. So I supposed that network bandwidth isn't a 
problem. I also look in ISAs performance counters and everything looks fine 
(COLD).  

 

I do all the tuning for operating systems (3GB switch ...) and I give 
downstream ISAs to use 50% of memery for caching. 

 

Does anyone have a clue what is happening?? 

 

Hardware configuration (4 servers):

2 x 3.06GHz 

4GB RAM

256 MB SCSI Controler

3 x 36GB Hard Disks

4 (6) NIC

 

PS: NLB works with Layer3 Switch
