Hi Sean, It doesn't disable the firewall at all. The firewall is still in full force. The only difference is that the ISA firewall is the only device that benefits from the firewall, which makes the ISA firewall the most secure device on your network. The rest of your network is still at risk. Esp now that Cisco code is open source :-) Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Seán [mailto:pne1881@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 8:30 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA 2004, caching only. http://www.ISAserver.org Thanks for the replies on this. Surfcontrol have told me to make sure ISA is in caching-only mode (as Surfcontrol web filter is the one that's to do the filtering). Surfcontrol did say to disable the firewall but certainly not by stopping the firewall service...that was just a question I was putting! Mea culpa etc. The unicast template seems the way forward as it disables the firewall and enables caching - but *not* by the stopping the firewall service one assumes ;=) - Seán Carr ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
