Hi,
I am having a problem in publishing a web portal in ISA 2006 having three physical servers in array. The scenario is as follows :
The sap portal application is divided in two parts A and B hosted on different servers and port. Part A is the main application and Part B is one of the links given in portal. Now I am able to publish part A and for part B I have created another rule using the same listener as used for part A. I am having problem with part B.
For part B application I have created a webfarm with all the servers. Also the link in the portal is direted to some server named it as Load Balancer xx.xx.xx.xx on different port then of webfarm servers. When the client clicks on the links in the portal, the request is sent to the Load balancer server with url as
https://lbs/sap/bc/.... where lbs is load balancer server name
and it sends the response to the client with the name of one of the servers in the webfarm. like https://webfarm/sap/bc/.... where webfarm repesents name of one of the servers in the webfarm and path is exactly same as above request genereted when client clicks on the link in the portal.
So i can not create a rule for this load balancer servers. So what i did is I used the Link translation in part A rule that replace those load balancer servers with the public name of the website. So when the client clicks on the link in the portal the request comes to isa servers with public name/ IP and hits the rule with the matching path.
In case of single isa servers it did work , but when the servers are in array it fails.
Now when i monitored the ISA, I found that -In case of single isa server when traffic its the part B rule the destination is the IP of one the servers in the webfarm of the rule. But in case when isa servers are connected in array with the same configuration as for the single isa server, the traffic did hits the same rule but the destination is the IP address of the main portal instead of the one of the servers in the webfarm.
Can anybody help me out with this. If needed any clarifications please let me know on arun.agarwal.dhn@hotmail.com.
