See; this is why you needed to let me give my "ISA Auth" presentation at BH...
To  clarify:
1. I understand that the original query was about authenticating to ISA, and as 
Tom stated, this falls into two categories: inbound & outbound
    For outbound
     - web proxy auth, ISA is limited to either Windows or RADIUS as the 
credentials authority.
     - FWC auth, ISA can only use Windows (Kerberos; NTLM) auth and can only 
use Windows as the credentials authority
    For inbound web proxy auth, ISA is capable of using Certs, SPNEGO, NTLM, 
BASIC, Digest auth and can use either Windows, LDAP, RADIUS or SecurID as the 
credentials authority
    ISA can delegate credentials upstream in several ways, depending on :
     - inbound or outbound traffic
     - original authentication method
2. if ISA is expected to authenticate web traffic from both domains, then 
either RADIUS or Windows can serve as the credentials authority
3. if ISA is expected to authenticate FWC traffic, then only Windows AD can 
serve as the credentials authority unless you're willing to sync all accounts 
*and passwords* to the ISA local SAM.
4. if ISA is expected to authenticate users from both domains using Windows 
auth, the a domain (or forest) trust *must* exist, since ISA cannot join both 
domains.
5. if there is a trust between the two domains or forests, *this traffic must 
cross ISA boundaries*

Basically, this scenario screams Trust traffic across ISA boundaries!"

Only for inbound authentication. For outbound you have to use RADIUS and
RADIUS proxy, as that's only for Web applications.

I don't think the issue here is intradomain communiations through the
ISA Firewall -- its having multiple domain support behind the ISA
Firewall for outbound access control and authentication.
