Hi Sibbs, No! Don't burn down the NG. Its a good firewall and there will definitely be some use for it. You could use a back to back config, a parallel config, or even keep the NG where it is and use the ISA firewall as a network services segment firewall. The latter config is especially attractive if you're not planning on using the ISA firewall to control outbound access to the Internet.

I am currently busy preparing ISA Server 2004 EE. Intended goal is to expose our emails to the outside world and enable the member of our Organization to hit their emails from anywhere in the universe. Currently, our computing infrastructure is firewalled by means of Checkpoint NG R55 and is full licensed. As I am busy building up beta ISA Server 2004 I am not 100% sure whether to burn down the Checkpoint NG R55 firewall complete and run the show on full-blown ISA 2004 only? I am writing to the group to hear what would be the best approach, if anybody might have experience on running both firewalling solutions? Thank you and I look forward to hear from the Group.
