Re: ISA - redundant firewalls

Hi,

I am new to MS ISA server.

I need to make the firewall farm. It means, that I want to have more
redundant firewalls and when some of them fails other ones will be
working so users behind these firewalls will not be affected by
breakdown of some firewalls.

I also want from these firewalls to exchange data(rules). So the change
on the one will be automatically set to others. Or some kind of easy
centralized management

I need to have similar behavior like with carp, pfsync under bsd or
linux iptables.

Could you give me some recommendations how to do this?
Thanks for replies

All this functionality present in ISA server Enterprise Edition.

All configuration stored on Configuration storage servers (this can be
dedicated servers or ISA servers itself, you can have any number of
Configuration Storage Servers).

Redundancy achieved with help of NLB. You can use ISA's integrated NLB
to make full fault tolerance support and load balancing support.
However, you will have problems with NLB if you using truc interfaces.

CARP also supported...
