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,

 

Roy Tsao

        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?
