Hi Sarbjit,
 
Another significant advantage to using the ISA firewall is the ability
to perform stateful application layer inspection of the SSL tunneled
data. The ISA firewall blocks hacks that would otherwise be able to hide
in the tunnel that a packet filter based firewall just passes on
through.

 You don't need to use ISA 2004 for HTTP/RPC. You could do regular web
publishing from the firewall. You just need the firewall to publish the
/rpc virtual directory on your exchange server as secure web (https).
 
ISA is good becuase is gets you to offload SSL and off-load the RPC-HTTP
proxy tasks, and do a primary authentication on behalf of the webserver
(so un-authenticated traffic never touches the Exchange Server). But if
you want the SSL and HTTP-Proxy handled by the Exchange Server, then
your TZ is good enough.
 
This is what you need at the minimum (high level overview):
 
(OUTLOOK client) Internet---------> any firewall ------------ Exchange
2003/Windows 2003--------------------domain controlller
 
FiREWALL. : enabled secure web publishing for the rpc virtual directory
on the exchange 2003 server.
Domain Controller : Runs the CA for certificates for IIS on exchange.
Domain controller is also GC, DC, DNS (internal), and the usual stuff
Windows 2003: RPC/HTTP installed
Exchange 2003: SP1 installed. RPC/HTTP enabled. Certifictate installed
on IIS.
OUTLOOK client: Configure RPC/HTTP.

        RPC over HTTP/HTTPS is only supported/available using ISA 2004.
