Re: Server publishing of HTTP

No. You can use either server publishing on port 80 or web publishing. The
moment you start using server publishing on port 80, you won't be able to
use web publishing anymore. That is because there can be only one listener
at port 80 on the external IP address of your ISA server. This is common
networking knowledge - you cannot have two services running at the same IP
address on the same port in the same time.

So if you start using server publishing on port 80 you lose the ability to
use web publishing on port 80 AT ALL because the web proxy service won't be
able to create its listener on port 80.

I don't understand why your server publishing rules on different ports (80
and 1081) don't work though, most likely you have a different problem there.

Last but not least you can use combinations of server- and web-publishing
rules as long as they are not using the same port (see above). For example
you could continue to use server publishing for port 80 and create a web
publishing rule for port 1081 (in that case you will need to change the web
listener to port 1081 as well).

One suggestion for your OWA publishing problem: is the OWA server using the
internal address of your ISA machine as its default gateway? That can be one
reason why the server publishing on port 1081 doesn't work.

And a final suggestion: you should consider upgrading to ISA2004 if your
licensing permits - for example if you are a SA (software assurance)
customer. There are many new features in ISA that help with server and web
publishing scenarios.
