Remember me with eGroupware / slow Web page serving!?
=20
One of my suspicions, backed up by a few posts, is a DNS issue and I =
think
this is now even more likely - I've opened the site to the outside world =
and
from home via broadband everything appears very fast - as expected no =
less!
=20
It occurs to me that in-house name resolution is performed by a
pain-in-the-a** Windows 2000 box running ISA server which needs to be =
there
to keep the suppliers of a bespoke app happy (ie: if we remove ISA =
server
from the equation we lose support on the app running on the server even
though the supplier's reasons for justifying the ISA server running in =
the
first place are a bit lame - I think it was just part of the default =
install
for the server and they're too lazy to turn it off!).
=20
I've actually had so much hassle with the ISA server that I've moved the
Linux system and my desktop PC to the 'North' of the ISA server firewall =
as
we still have a firewall in the broadband router, and it's a NAT router
anyway. I also couldn't see the point of having all incoming traffic for =
the
Linux box passing through the Win2K server too.
=20
Anyway, I digress...
=20
My question of the moment is regarding the ISA server's DNS service - =
any
tips on making it more friendly to clients - I seem to recall that there =
can
be issues if the client requesting a lookup is not actually a Windows
desktop system authenticated to the server and/or its domain.
=20
I'll have a read up via Google but any short cuts to a solution would be
appreciated.
=20
Thanks
