If you subscribe to Network Computing, or SANS, or one of a dozen other independent security newsgroups, you'll find that LINUX security is extremely immature, especially compared to Microsoft products (compared to what's out there and the customer base, MS gets a bad rap). Putting a LINUX machine in front of an ISA box might work in a lab, though without 3rd party software to provide that load balancing I'm not sure what benefit you'll see. But putting in production won't last long without it being compromised. There are several ways of handling this. Jim Harrison has provided some 3rd party options. Nexland ProTurbo is another cheap alternative. Or you can ask your ISPs to provide BGP. Or if you feel like doing a little hard work, you can script failover and provide a semblance of load balancing (services) without any 3rd party option. But LINUX? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Razvan Cosma" <razvan.cosma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 6:52 AM Subject: [isalist] Re: multiple external interfaces > http://www.ISAserver.org > > > On Sat, 29 Jun 2002, LordIPX wrote: > > > http://www.ISAserver.org > > > > > > What's the solution for multiple external interfaces under ISA? > > I need that ;-) > > > Just place ISA behind a Linux machine. > > /me, pissed off > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jschwarzkopf@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
