Hi,
We are configuring Direct Access for the first time on server 2012 R2. We have setup and tested it fine on the single adapter ‘basic’ configuration but would like to configure it to use Teredo as it’s supposed to be faster.
I have read that this requires two network adapters on the DA server, one configured for the intranet and the other configured for the public internet with two consecutive public IP addresses.
My question is if i point the public DNS record to the first public IP address (E.g. DirectAccess.mydomain.com) what do I need to do with the second public IP? I’m not clear what the second IP is used for?
I have read the second IP could be something to do with certificates but it wasn’t very clear. We will be using Direct Access with Windows 7 clients so already have an internal PKI installed for the DA single adapter setup.
Also, I have read that even with the IP-HTTPS performance improvements in 2012 Teredo is still considerably faster (assuming the internet connection itself is fast enough). Can anyone advice on speed differences between IP-HTTPS and Teredo?
Thanks
Alex
