Got M$ ISA Server?

blubomber · 05-09-2003, 03:19 PM

I was wondering if any one is using or has experience with microsofts ISA server? My boss has asked me to look into it. We would be using just about all of its capabilities. It would replace our current firewall/router device and also be used for VPN and and keeping users off the internet that do not need to be using it.

Thank you for your replies and guidance.

I have messed with it a bit and it seems to be a very capable product. Windows user integration, VPN and such. But, it takes a fair amount of hardware to run it.

How many users? What kind of connection? How many VPN connections?

Also, due to the complexity of the fact that it still runs on an OS I wouldnt reccomend it as your router. I would stay with whatever router you have and put this behind it.

I use it at work but only as a caching web proxy and for logging the internet usage. It seems to do the job well enough but I have never used its firewalling features so can't comment on how well they work.
