Hyper-V binding order

[efector]

Scenario:

Single physical host, running Hyper-V. Host has 7 physical NICs connected to the LAN network(6 for the VM's to use, and 1 for mgmnt purposes). There is an 8th NIC, it is connected to an external network(This Hyper-V machine will be running ISA server in addition to other purposed VM's).

NORMALLY in ISA, the INTERNAL interface is bound FIRST followed by the PUBLIC interface(and this is how I have it configured within the VM).

What should the binding order of the PHYSICAL machine be? I have the 8th NIC(WAN) LAST in the binding order. Is this the correct configuration?

The reason for my question is that browsing through the ISA seems to be slow, and I was unsure if it was related to the binding order of the physical NICs or not, and if that would have any effect at all.

Thanks in advance

It shouldn't make a difference. As long as the NIC that the host is using is bound first then the rest of the NICs shouldn't matter.

You might want to look at resource utilization to see if there is something else that is causing the slow browsing.
