What's the default gateway on the FE Exchange Server?

Hi!
The problem is this time about packet forwarding/routing problem:
1) If I try to connect to front-end Exchange over POP3/IMAP4 or SMTP
from
the external Outlook/Outlook Express clients, the connection is failed
on
ISA server.
ISA server accept packets first on the external NIC. Then it does not
forward (?) the packets to internal front-end Exchange. ISA logfile
tells
failed connection. The POP3/IMAP4/SMTP packets don't reach to front-end
server.

2)I can connect to front-end Exchange directly from ISA server by using
POP3/IMAP4 or SMTP over Outlook Express client.

Is it a forwarding problem from external NIC of ISA to internal network?
Perhaps my configuration is a problem?

I created the rules and publishing on ISA for POP3/IMAP4/SMTP. I list
you
the configuration in my network:

My network:
Internet > NetscreenFW1 > ISA 2004 > NetscreenFW2 > Internal network
with
Windows 2003 AD + Exchange 2003 SP1 FE/BE

ISA-Server:
External IP: 213.183.4.125
Internal address: 10.10.4.254

HOSTS file on ISA has:
10.10.4.1 owa.mydomain.com #That is the IP address of front-end
Exchange.

NetscreenFW2:
The networking bettween ISA 2004 (internal interface) and NetscreenFW2
is
transparent.

External DNS:
A record: 213.183.4.125 exchange.mydomain.com

Front-end Exchange:
IP address: 10.10.4.1

Back-end Exchange:
IP address: 10.10.4.2

Global Catalog/DC/DNS:
IP address: 10.10.4.3

Internal DNS:
A records:
10.10.4.1 fe.mydomain.com #Front-end
10.10.4.1 owa.mydomain.com
10.10.4.2 be.mydomain.com #Back-end with mailboxes 
10.10.4.3 gc.mydomain.com #Global Catalog

MX record:
10.10.4.1 fe.mydomain.com

Outlook client profile:
POP3 server: exchange.mydomain.com
SMTP server: exchange.mydomain.com
IMAP4 server: exchange.mydomain.com

Best Regards
Mustafa
