SBS multiple public IPs on a single NIC problem

I'm currently using 2003SBS to host two sites that require SSL.
I've assigned two public IP's to the WAN adapter to accomplish
this. I also have a 2000 server running ISA that act as the
gateway for my LAN. Here's some crappy ASCII art that may help
describe my setup


--- [2000 server] ---| <--- LAN gateway
ISP / |
--|---- |
Router \ |
--- [2003 SBS] -----|
|
|
\---- LAN

public IP pool address range: x.x.105.73 - x.x.105.78
public IP pool subnet mask: 255.255.255.248

Currently, my router has x.x.105.73, the 2000 server has x.x.105.75
, and 2003 SBS has x.x.105.74 and .76 all set staticly.

This setup works great unless the 2000 server is restarted (or its WAN
interface is disabled, then re-enabled). When it comes back online it
reports an IP address conflict on it's WAN interface. A quick look at
the ARP table on the SBS server reveals that it has assigned the
2000 servers public IP to its own WAN MAC address causing a conflict
on the 2000 server!

I've traced the network traffic during this process, and the SBS
server does indeed send an ARP response indicating that the
desired IP (x.x.105.75) is in use by the SBS server which simply
isn't true.

Is this a 'feature' of 2003SBS that prevents this type of setup?
I've never encountered this sort of behaviour before.

I have already replaced the WAN NIC on the SBS server to rule
it out.

Help!

Scott

Run SBS with one Nic.

ISP<--->ISA<--->LAN

SBS will sit on the LAN with one nic exactly like all the other machines do.
Use ISA's Web Publishing Features to make the SSL sites available to the public.

It become more flexable with ISA2004 or newer.

I seem to remember trying a similiar config when I first installed SBS on my
network, and ran into some problems with the SSL sites and ISA 2000. Can ISA
2000 handle your suggested setup? ISA 2000 came with SBS'03 and I'm told
that the free upgrade CD to ISA 2004 has been discontinued.

Thanks,
Scott

Yes, but it is much easier to deal with using ISA2004. I don't remember any
details of the differences between ISA2000 -vs- ISA2004 with Web Publishing.

But you said the ISA was on a separate 2000 box. That is a stand-alone ISA and
that is what you have to deal with. I do not recommend messing with ISA on the
SBS box when you already have a stand-alone copy which is much better.

ISA2004 update for SBS is on the SP1 disks. The SP1 disk for SBS-Prem have to
be gotten directly from MS and canot be downloaded. The SP1 installation Wizard
gives the option to install ISA2004. *But* I do not recommend it. Run SBS with a
single Nic and remove any copies of ISA from the box. Let the Standalone ISA be
the LAN's Firewall.
