Hi all

*We have a customer using Microsoft GSA access for remote users and they
have been experiencing dropouts. This is believed to be caused by the way
GSA remote access servers can rotate to different IP addresses and
servers. *

*They have taken steps to try and isolate users of IBM i ACS to a single
server/IP but there is still a disruption to system usage while GSA
"elections" are taking place, believed to be caused by lack of DNS service
for up to several minutes. *

*The network team (and CoPilot advice) is to look at increasing timeouts on
ACS client around DNS related settings. *

*Has anyone had any experience using ACS with GSA?*
