I have the following ISA 2006 configuration: 4 ISA 2006 Standard
Editions servers, each with 2 NICs (External and Internal) in
workgroup mode. The 4 servers are in 2 separate DMZ's - see below.
Internet->PIX-> ISA2006 external array (DMZ) -> Internal network <-
ISA2006 internal array (DMZ) <-Internal users
I would like to consolidate this configuration by removing the ISA2006
internal array and having all traffic handled by the external array.
That's good. There is no point in the two arrays you have and and no point in
having two Back-to-Back DMZs one behind the other as you have now.
However, this has to happen without internal traffic being routed to
the Internet.
Why would that ever happen to begin with? Things don't get routed somewhere
"just because",...things get routed to places because that is where they are
supposed to go. Routing is determined by the destination,...it doesn't matter if
it is dealing with firewalls, proxys, or simple LAN routers,...that doesn't
change.
option #1 - Create a 3rd NIC in the ISA array and route all requests
for the published servers through that NIC. I'm not sure if this will
work or if I need to use a NAT relationship.
No.
option #2 - Add a 2nd external interface on the PIX. NAT all internal
user traffic destined to the published servers through the PIX's 2nd
external interface which in turn will forward that to ISA's external
interface.
No.
Option #3
Get rid of the internal array. Re-address the internal facing Nic of what was
previously the external array and ajust the config of the ISA's to conform to
the address change. You now have an Edge Array between the LAN and the DMZ.
You now have a Back-to-Back DMZ sitting between the ISA Array and the PIX. So if
you need a DMZ for some reason, that is where it is.
You would also be miles ahead if the ISA's were domain members, but that would
involve saving the config of each ISA, uninstalling ISA, making the machine a
domain member, reinstalling ISA, re-importing the config. In theory you can do
it on running ISA's by adjusting the System Policies, but I have seen people
just make a big mess for themselves in the process of trying that. I prefer to
do it the safe way.
