Just for fun, i`ve tried it out.
Since I haven`t got any DHCP servers on the outside of my ISA,
I used a router to generate DNS broadcasts which look like this:

Router_IP       255.255.255.255 Udp     57125   53      -       BLOCKED
ISA_IP

I then constructed a packet filter with the following properties:

Block 
UDP
Direction: Receive only
Local port: fixed - 53
Remote port - all ports

Local computer: This ISA server`S External address: 0.0.0.0
Remote computer: Router_IP

When I untick "Log any packets mathing this filter", I do not get the
Broadcast traffic in my log.

You can't specify "255.255.255.255." (broadcast address) in the packet
filter properties for the ISA IP, which is what ISA is blocking.

I would have thought, one could construct a packet filter along
The lines of this:

Block
UDP
Local port: - fixed port 68 - direction: Receive
Remote port: - fixed port 67 -
And then untick "log any packets matching this filter.

Haven`t tried it, though.

I did once construct a packet filter to accept DHCP broadcast from
external source. Had to use 0.0.0.0 as "This ISA server`s external
address" to get it
To work. It might be applicable in the above example too.

No; ISA logs all blocked traffic, regardless of its origin.

I'm running a DHCP server on the ISA Server. The external adapter get's
it's address from an external DHCP server (at my ISP).
I notice lots of blocked UDP packets (port 67, 68) if I check the
loggings
on the ISA server. They are comming from my internal adapter.

I want to prevent these broadcasts to my external adapter because they
are
flooding my logfile.

Is there a way to do this??

Thanks,
Leo
