I didn't say that; I said that if ISA is expected to pass domain-based traffic 
(usually found as RPC & DCOM), you can expect lots of "interesting" problems; 
many of which are irresolvable.
It's a looooong discussion, but the short for is that any DCOM traffic crossing 
ISA borders is problematic at best.
Sometimes you can limit the ports used by the server app, sometimes not.

Ahh...So if you're isolating the domains, ie totally separate, no contact, then 
there are no issues?

That's not true either; ISA can use LDAP to authenticate foreign domain 
accounts without being a member of either - that's exactly why we added LDAP 
auth.
It's the cross-ISA domain traffic that makes it nearly impossible.
IOW, if there exists any form of cross-domain trusted traffic that crosses ISA 
boundaries, you will have problems.

Not at all... it is only an "issue" if you need AD-based authentication
for both domains. If so, then you'll just need to create a trust (one
way will work just fine). What "cross-trust issues" are you referring
to?

So.... All would agree that having two domains behind ISA 2006
creates enough complexity (for one who does not enjoy cross-trust
relationship between domains issues) for it to be impractical?
