ACK!!! You knew "bucky the admin" in real life! Whenever I hear that someone isn't "comfortable" with something, but can't provide valid information support this discomfort, I know its time to head for the hills before that stuff that flies off fans hits me.

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.

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." http://www.certcities.com/editorial/columns/story.asp?EditorialsID=207 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 :( Thomas W Shinder, M.D. Site: www.isaserver.org <http://www.isaserver.org/> Blog: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/ Book: http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls
