This is where NDA is a bad thing.
Otherwise, I'd be able to tell some hair-raising tales of my own...
You wouldn't believe (maybe you would) some of the design proposals I get.
..stuff like:
BOBOI ßà PIX ß|à CP ß|à Juniper ßà LAN
ISA ßà Net1
..all for the sake of "separation as security"

Separate forest brings me back to the day when my boss sent me to Pennsylvania
to consolidate 4 domains into one. Upon completion the "admin" at the school
district told me he wasn't comfortable with all of the schools being in the
same domain, called my boss and had me undo a weeks worth of work and put every
school back into its own domain with a two way trust between every domain in
the name of security. That's when I realized I needed to start looking for a
new job.

"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 :(
