ISA Server – Send All Web Traffic to another Proxy

[FN-GM]

Hi

 

Using ISA server I would like it to process all web traffic as normal once it has done that forward it onto another proxy server. I’m sure this is possible but I am not sure how to configure it. I am using ISA server 2004.

 

Your help is appreciated.

You want a Web Chaining Rule, as documented at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2004/help/M_C_C_Distributed.mspx?mfr=true

 

Create a Web chaining rule

 

To create a Web chaining rule

 

1. In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click Networks:

• For ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004, expand Arrays, expand Array_Name, expand Configuration, and then click Networks.
  
• For ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004, expand Server_Name, expand Configuration, and then click Networks.

 

2. In the details pane, select the Web Chaining tab.

 

3. On the Tasks tab, click Create New Web Chaining Rule.

 

4. When the New Web Chaining Rule Wizard starts, follow the on-screen instructions.

I had a quick look at web chaining earlier today, but i can only find how to forward it onto a server that is in AD not an IP address

Where the wizard asks for the server, can you not ignore the browse button and just enter your own address regardless? Perhaps it needs to be a DNS name rather than just a straight IP.

not sure, i will take a look tomorrow. The Server is on the DMZ network so won't have a DNS name either.

Just make sure you say 'Redirect to an upstream server' not 'Redirect to this address' on the wizard thing.
