Hm...

You have two ISA SE, let say its internal interface IP address is 
192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.0.2/24.
You creat two a record in DNS, isa.dan.local -> 192.168.0.1   and  
isa.dan.local -> 192.168.0.2
Then by DNS round robin, your internal client (except SNAT) would enjoy the 
connection to either
of the ISA SE server for ounbound connection, make sense?

  I think that would only work on inbound connections.  You can't define 
round-robin DNS entries for someone else's server!

  Surely about outbound connection!

    Dan,

     

    Suppose you have two external line provided by different ISP, normally two 
ISA EE is needed 

    but by using DNS round robin, you can deploy two ISA SE for load 
balancing..., that's my

    point.

     

    HTH,

      No, you would still have that "one default gateway" problem.  Besides, 
that feature is only for DNS entries that "you" control, not external.

      Dan,

       

      Your problem is due to DNS round robin feature, and it shall be solved by 
Stefaan's great 

      guidance. 

      On the other hand, don't you think we can utilize such round rodin as a 
good feature to

      implement NLB to balance connection to multi external interface by using 
ISA STD version

      only?

       

      HTH,

        Good article, it sounds very similar to my scenario.  I already had the 
"enable netmask ordering" option enabled, so that is not the problem.  Do you 
think it might be because each of the 10.6.x.x subnets have a mask of 
255.255.255.0?

        Subject: [isalist] wpad.dat DNS entry

        I'm having a serious problem here with the wpad name resolution.  I 
moved it from being sent out via DHCP to DNS per Jim's recommendation, which 
seems to have speeded up some things, but is now unreliable and causing 
problems.

         

        The problem appears to be the multiple internal subnets.  Here is a 
diagram of how it is laid out:

         

        Internet

            |

        ISA Server --- Internal Network 1 (10.20.1.1)

            |

        Internal Network 2 (10.6.254.90)---- 10.6.8.x Subnet

                                                       |-- 10.6.9.x Subnet

                                                       |-- 10.6.10.x Subnet

                                                       |-- 10.6.12.x Subnet

                                                       |-- 10.6.14.x Subnet

                                                       |-- 10.6.15.x Subnet

            

        I entered two Host (A) records for wpad, one for 10.20.1.1, and another 
for 10.6.254.90.  

         

        Frequently I run across computers on the 10.6.x.x subnet where the FWC 
cannot automatically detect the ISA server, so I ping wpad and it resolves to 
the 10.20.1.1 address instead of the 10.6.254.90 address that it is supposed to 
get.  I try repairs and such, it keeps resolving to the wrong one.  When I 
reboot the computer, it resolves to the correct IP and works properly.  I 
reboot the computer several times, and it gets the correct address.  But, I'll 
hear of another computer having problems, and I'll check and it is the same 
problem.  This is not going to be pretty over the next few days as teacher come 
back to work after summer vacation.

         

        What is the best way to resolve this?  Change it back to DHCP, 
customize host files, etc?
