Unless you've applied the Oracle security patch don't put it anywhere near the 
internet. Unless it's just a small application - why? if It's a large 
application there will be a performance implication somewhere.

As soon as your firewall is taken out so is your database - if your firewall is 
compromised so is your database (immediately). If you've got any 
sensitive/important data then in reality this is a no no.

I'm not sure but I suspect that you won't be able to lock the machine down 
tight enough. 

Oracle listener may also be a problem as it's going to want a port.

What's the reason you want to go through this grief.

Sorry if this is a lot of negatives but for the sake of a small machine to run 
ISA on you're asking for a lot of pain.

  Hi All,

  Is there any known issues with the installation of Oracle 9i on an ISA Server 
machine?

  My ISA Server machine is working fine now and I really don't want to mess 
anything up by installing oracle so this is why I'm asking the question before 
I do..

  Any tips will be most appreciated..
