Hello--

In "Configuring ISA Server 2000," Dr. Shinder writes, regarding
configuring a firewall client with a default gateway, "In your
production environment, you should not configure your firewall clients
with a default gateway." (page 400)

Two questions:
1. Why not?
2. What about a few of us in IT who need to be able to ping? Should I
configure these machines with a default gateway, or configure them as
SecureNAT clients?

I guess that's kind of three questions. Oh, well.

Thanks,
Rob
