Dan,
On one of the error you where reporting, the Windows Service for ISA doesn't
die, the ISA server just stops responding. So using the Windows Service
properties will not help.

Cool, will be looking for that when you get it released. It also brings
up an interesting question I had last night.
In the Windows Services Properties, you can define what to do if a
service dies. In the recovery tab, you can tell it to do nothing, run a
program, restart the service, or reboot the server. I would assume this
program would fall into the same category.
If I set this to restart the service, I run the risk of any add-ons
(i.e. SurfControl) not working properly, so the next logical choice is
to restart the server, as this will load things in the proper order.
However, if I set it to restart the server, I would think that might be
a possible security loophole. I don't have any details on "why" that
would be a security risk, but anytime you can cause a server to reboot
via a fault sounds dangerous.
What do you guys think?

Dan,
If you ever get these types of errors, let me know and you can use
ISAReset
(in Beta) to capture a .dmp of the issue for the ISAPI Filter
developers.
It will also automatically restart your ISA services.
More info:
http://www.xcache.com/home/default.asp?c=67&p=810
Command Line:
ISARESET.EXE (c) Post Point Software 2005
Usage:
iisreset
/RESTART Stop and then restart all ISA services.
/START Start all ISA services.
/STOP Stop all ISA services.
/REBOOT Reboot the computer.
/DUMP Create a MiniDump On Exception.
/REBOOTONERROR Reboot the computer if an error occurs when
starting, stopping, or restarting ISA services.
/NOFORCE Do not forcefully terminate ISA services if
attempting to stop them gracefully fails.
/TIMEOUT:val Specify the timeout value ( in seconds ) to wait
for
a successful stop of ISA services. On expiration
of this timeout the computer can be rebooted if
the /REBOOTONERROR parameter is specified.
The default value is 120s for restart, 60s for
stop,
and 20s for reboot.
/STATUS Display the status of all ISA services.
/ENABLE Enable restarting of ISA Services
on the local system.
/DISABLE Disable restarting of ISA Services
on the local system.
