Once again, we are happy to present the ISA community with another free chapter of Tom Shinder's recently published book - ISA Server and Beyond: Real World Security Solutions for Microsoft Enterprise Networks. This excellent book provides scenario-based, practical examples, with detailed step-by-step explanations on how to carry out even the most complex and obscure security configurations on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows .NET computers.
In the first part of this two part article on using ISA/VPN Servers and NLB, I discussed some of the things you need to consider before implementing a Windows 2000 ISA/VPN Server to use NLB on the external interface. The major rate limiting factors are the VPN client type, and the issue of asymmetric routing of outbound requests from internal network clients. Once you’ve handled those issues, you’re in good shape and ready to roll out your ISA/VPN NLB array

How important are your inbound VPN connections? If VPN remote access is as important to you as it is to me, even an hour of VPN downtime means the difference between success and failure. You can use ISA Server as your VPN server and pair it up with the Win2k NLB service to increase your uptime. Check out the details in this first part of a two part article on VPN and NLB.
In the first part of this three part article on the Windows 2000 Network Load Balancing service I went over some basic NLB concepts such as convergence, affinity, the NLB algorithm, virtual IP addresses and dedicated IP addresses. In this article we’ll build on what you learned in part 1 and discuss the mind bending concepts of NLB multicast mode and unicast mode.
