Re: CIsco CSS and ISA 2004 Problem

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on a problem i have with a Cisco CSS and a
ISA 2004 server, the CSS is load balancing a web farm but one of the
servers is always getting hit and its not the same one after some
investigations we traced it back to the ISA and the VPN users that are
accessing the website.

The CSS seems to see the ISA server as one connection and as a result
whatever server it gets connected to by the CSS then gets the full
load of all the VPN clients users.

So my question is can I get the CSS to see this as not just one client
connecting but many so that it balances the load or some how just
split the load so that one web server is not always killed.

Any advice is welcome.

I could think of one possibility:

Your ISA server is NAT'ing the VPN users traffic, if you did not NAT the VPN users traffic, then the CSS device would see the IP address of the VPN client, not the IP address of the ISA server that is 'proxying' the traffic for your VPN users?

Just a thought....
