"Although my preference is to install ISA Server 2004 in a workgroup,
especially when it's protecting the edge of the network, if you need
domain membership for ISA Server 2004, consider installing it in a
separate forest. For example, if you are running ISA Server 2004 in a
DMZ, install it in a separate forest and then create a one-way trust
between your internal forest and your ISA Server 2004 forest."

I hate when these guys stick their collective thumbs up their a**es with
this kind of idiot advice. Just what type of "protection" to they think
they're going to stick by putting a PIX in front of the ISA firewall in
this scenario? Like a friggin bullet fired in in certain establishments,
this misconception continues to ricochet throughout the clueless without
burying itself in the right target. ACK.

If you don't understand why this is one of the most moronic statements
you can make about the ISA firewall, stay tuned to my blog for "Attack
of Truth" :)

And to think guys like this are poisoning the minds of poor fledgling
ISA admins who are trying to get their MCP in ISA :(
