Looks like you did well by yourself! :-)
I like the Cisco Catalysts. Nice switches, no problems.
Cheers!

Yeah, that's the weird thing. The switch actually supports up to 6
multi-link trunks and will even do them across different switches. So it was
well within the featureset of the switch. The odd thing is that it didn't
just discard packets - it only discarded certain traffic and only on certain
ports. That's why ping-tests and nslookups all worked but things like a zone

Wow. And I've seen this before with switches and teaming, but I just didn't
think of it. Some switches by default, will do that when you connect the two
NICs on the same switch, even if teamed. It just can't handle it without
reconfiguring the switch to allow it, or simply throwing it out. :-)
What brand name and models are the switches?

After many hours of messing around, staring at DNS entries across 4 servers,
doing a ground-up re-build of the firewall - I finally figured out what was
happened.
Are you ready? .................
The switch packed it in. More specifically, certain limited aspects of the
switch packed it in....
I'm sitting here at my wits end. Everything worked perfectly before I added

Hi Ace;
I really don't think it's an ISA issue. I just re-built the ISA server from
scratch and the log-in problem occurred well before ISA was installed. I did
a clean O/S install and then went to Service Pack 4 and then joined the
domain. As soon as I joined the domain - blammo - the long log-in times

Wow, you've been busy today. Are you in the US? If so, Happy T-Day.
Are you using the firewall client?
I think this would be best posted in the ISA group for better help. I know
ISA, but I do not use it day to day, and I think the folks that use it on a
daily basis may be better help. I cross-posted it to microsoft.public.isa

How's the domain's setup? In general, the more services that rely on

I just checked the first domain controller and found an error message there
that might help...
The session setup from the computer PROXY failed to authenticate. The name
of the account referenced in the security database is PROXY$. The following
error occurred:
Access is denied.

BTW, the mail server is reporting almost the exact same errors except in
this case it looks like it tried to contact the second domain
controller...without success.
Could not open LDAP session to directory 'second.domain.controller' using
local service credentials. Cannot access Connection Agreement configuration

Hi Ace - really good to hear from you :-)
Yes! That was my first thought - that ISA was sending the requests out the
wrong network card and trying to reach the DC's by using the external NIC.
To that end, after I created the NIC team I thought that maybe ISA didn't
'understand' so I re-ran the local network wizard and removed and re-added
