Is this saying that every TS server has to have a public name and IP
address?  It would seem like this could be a real problem if you had a
lot of machines that you wanted to be able to manage via the web through
TS.
 
It appears to me that a TS publishing rule simply maps an external IP
address on the ISA machine to an internal IP address.  So would you need
a separate publishing rule for each TS server?
 
Thanks.

The external client has to be able to resolve whatever name you enter in
the "server" field to an ISA external IP so that it can be routed to the
proper TS server behind it.
You also have to have a TS publishing rule to the server you're trying
to connect to.

I have Terminal Server set up on two of our servers.  From inside the
firewall everything works fine.  Both the Windows and web clients can
access both machines.  The Windows client also works fine over the VPN.
However, if I try to log on from outside the firewall with the web
client the server cannot be found.  The actual error message is "Error
connecting to terminal server: ungerras".  (ungerras is an internal
name, not published on the web.)  However, if I leave the server name
blank when logging on, it actually connects to ungerras.  It indicates
that it is logged onto  <file://www.mydomain.com> www.mydomain.com
(where "mydomain" is out published web site), but it is actually
connecting to ungerras (on a different machine).  However, there doesn't
seem to be any way to connect to the other server (which is actually
running on the IIS machine that we are connecting through).

I'm curious about what is going on here, and it's clear that I don't
understand how the server name is being resolved.  Any help would be
appreciated.

(I believe that we are set up following the instructions on the
isaserver.org web site.)
