Internet access through a Forefront TMG server virtual machine
- Anyone running a Windows 2008 Forefront TMG Security Server as a virtual machine?
I have a ESXi 4 host running Windows Essential Business Server 2008 - Management, Security, and Messaging Servers. The host is a new Dell T105, 2.3GHz dual core, 8GB, Dual NICS, with SATA 7.2K drives - very modest but the performance metrics of ESXi doesn't reveal any real bottlenecks in this very light duty evaluation environment. Internet access is very fast and responsive when connecting directly to the Internet with physical or virtual machies with my router as the gateway but when using this Forefront Security Server as the gateway I am experiencing very slow webpage loading. If I run a Internet bandwidth test, the results are very similar to using my router or Forefront server as the gateway.
I have very little experience with this software firewall on a physical or virtualized server and don't know if I am asking too much running in a virtual environment.
With this kind browsing responsiveness, I will be forced to avoid Forefront as my firewall/gateway. Anyone have suggestions/comments?

- Hi,
slow Internet access is often an name resolution problem. Can you tell us more about your DNS configuration on the TMG Server and on the LAN?

- Thanks for the suggestion Marc but I have decided not to virtualize a Forefront TMG server. I may be asking too much for the resources I have available.
- Will Accept Marc's comment is this is recognised as frequeently being the cause of such reported issues.
