Multihoming 2008

I know that multihoming a 2008 DC is not recommended...but I have to ask
about this anyway.

I have a single x86 2008 DC. I'm looking to allow Terminal Services (and
only TS) to connect on one interface (and ONLY that interface) and force
EVERYTHING ELSE on the other interface.

Possible? Feasible? Asking for trouble? any other comments?

Thanks in advance,

-Bruce D.

And I forgot to add - yes, each interface is on a different network. Each
one has a different Internet provider. -bd

Even if we remove Terminal Service from the conversation,...that isn't going
to work. You can't run two ISP's like that.

As Phillip said, no. You need a router that will handle multiple ISP where
it will use one as a default and change to the other if there is a problem.
Single home the TS (hopefully it is not a DC or it will vastly complicate
things and requires registry and other alterations and changes to force the
DC to properly work).

Not that I disbelieve you, Philip, but then how do large companies have
multiple redundant Internet connections from different providers?

really, my ultimate goal is to have the TS sessions come in from one
Internet connection and have everything else done on the other. is that not
possible?

Hello Bruce,

For multiple ISP's you need a broadband router which supports more then one
incoming connection. They can load balance or split the traffic according
to services, one line only internet and another only mail for example.

For the rest with multihoming, you gave yourself the answer. Especially on
a DC there should not run TS or RRAS.

Best regards

With routers that can support such infrastructure designs. Windows doesn't
support this type of design you are trying to achieve.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I didn't think of multihoming the router -
that would have been waaay too smart . Fortunately, my router does that,
and I was able to multihome *it* and bind the TS traffic to the one interface
and everything else to the other.

Thanks again!

Good to hear you came up with a resolution.

Cheers!
