We have a couple of Server 2008 machines running as terminal servers. We've set up a TS Session Broker which works great as long as you are on the internal network. The TS Session Broker is set up to use IP redirection to reconnect to existing sessions...obviously using their internal IP addresses.

The problem is that the TS Session Broker will not work with ISA at all since it is using internal IP addresses for redirection. When you set up the server publishing rule you can set it up to use the internal IP of the server running the session broker (we have it running on one of the Terminal Servers). If you have a session on another maching then the session broker attempts to revector the RDP client to that IP address but that IP address is not accessible externally.

So your only option is to continue with NLB as your method to connect...BUT session broker functionality is lost at this point and there is no session directory to reconnect to an existing session since the new session broker only uses IP redirection in the database.

First question, am I missing something that someone can clarify on how I can use session broker via ISA server publishing rule?

If not, is there a way to cause Server 2008 to have the same functionality as the session directory in 2003?
