Hi Ted,

Good news. If configured as Web proxy client. All Web requests that use
the Web proxy client config will be used first, unless excluded by the
Direct Access list.

HTH,
Tom

Thanks a lot for this Tom. I have one more question though. 

Is there a hierarchy or order of use then? Ie does the client first try
the FWC and then web proxy then secure nat. 

I understand that if the web proxy filter is unbound from the HTTP
protocol and you are using the FWC, you can not make use of the cache.
If this is the case and I implement the solution below and the FWC is
the first choice for connections, then I will not be using the cache for
nearly all traffic except for those that make use of the web proxy
client type.

I guess the short of it is, if the computers with all 3 connection types
use the web proxy client type first, then I'm ok.

Hi Ted,

That's correct. The Web proxy filter enables SecureNAT and Firewall
clients to benefit form the Web proxy component of the ISA firewall. The
Web proxy component is still enabled through, since we didn't disable
the filter, we just unbound it from the HTTP protocol.

So, connections sent directly from Web proxy clients to the Web proxy
listener will always be sent to the Web proxy filter, since they are
directly "remoted" from the Web proxy client to the listener.

In contrast, the connections from the SecureNAT and Firewall client
machines will not be passed to the filter, because we unhooked it from
the HTTP protocol. You can use the same principles for other protocols
that are assocated with an app filter if you ever need to.

The only time when the Web proxy clients will not use the Web proxy
filter is when you've configured sites for Direct Access and the Web
proxy clients are configured to autodiscover or are otherwise assigned
the autoconfig script. The script tells them "hey, Ted says not to act
as a Web proxy client when we go to these sites" and the Web proxy
component disavows any responsibly for the connection to a site on the
Direct Access list.

At this point, the only options left are to leveage some other method to
connect to the site. If the machine is also configured as a Firewall
client, then the machine will leverage its Firewall client config,
without being exposed to the Web proxy filter. The nice thing about this
is that you can still authenticate your outgoing requests to the Direct
Access sites. 

If the client is not confiugred as a Firewall client, then it will have
to hope it can depend on a SecureNAT config to sent the request.

HTH,
Tom

So if I understand correctly, if I unbind the web proxy filter from the
HTTP protocol, the FWC will not use it for connections but the web proxy
clients will unless the direct access rule is invoked?

Hi Ted,

No! Not true. Web proxy clients will always use the Web proxy filter
unless you exclude sites using Direct Access.

That's why you should always configure clients as Web proxy clients and
Firewall clients (server's in general aren't clients, so you don't
install the Firewall client on them).

Hi Tom, 

Thanks for the explanation. This is an extremely drastic move (remove
the web proxy filter) from the HTTP protocol! It works but isnt there a
way to exclude it for certain connections or something? this solution
basically lobotomizes ISA  and its features....

Thanks
TD
