RE: ISA as a proxy

Yes, ISA supports publishing multiple web sites (secure or otherwise). Note, however, that if you're trying to publish multiple SSL sites you will need to place them on separate combinations of external ports and IP addresses (that is, a separate IP address for each site on port 443, a single IP address for all sites on separate ports, or some combination thereof) -- ISA does not have the built-in ability to concentrate multiple SSL sites into one external port/IP address.

The Microsoft Internet Application Gateway appliance (formerly Whale Communications) does have that functionality, as another poster mentioned; it's built on top of ISA and is specifically designed for that scenario while providing a whole bunch of other cool functionality.

So I guess I have a question on ISA as a reverse proxy (as I'm not too
familiar with the product).

Does ISA support HTTPS/SSL through the proxy? How about to separate
servers?

Hello

I have been using ISA 2006 as a web proxy for a year or so. It is used
also as a reverse proxy (web publishing), and so far it's a stable
product without any problems.

It is important to dimension the size of the cache in advance so you
don't have to resize it later. I'm currently using aprox. 30 GB and
it's a fine size for 120 users.

Regards,

Willy
