According to the original description, they're not.
ISA physically separates the two networks.
If the customer is willing to redesign this so that ISA isn't required to 
communicate between the domains, then the cross-ISA issue is effectively 
resolved.

If the 2 domains are on the same segment (as far as ISA in concerned,
anyway) how is the domain trust "cross ISA boundary traffic?"

Don't bail; take the challenge and drink happily from the firehose that
surely awaits!
Just make sure that these folks understand that their chosen deployment
is not nearly as simple as they believe and to quote "eye-gor", "of
course, the rates have gone up" (three anti-social points for that
quote).

Thank you to all participants.

As I've read the responses, I have been doing the Hokey Pokey ;-)

As of right now...I am bailing on this scenario. It sounds like a fun
challenge for someone other than me.

Thanks again.

        OK, so there are two different domains, each on a different ISA
Firewall Network. Therefore, that brings Jim's concerns into play if you
want to create a trust between these networks.

        So, if you want strong outbound access control with user/group
outbound authentication, you'll only have it for one of the domains, and
the ISA Firewall will be joined to that domain.

        If you want strong authenticated outbound access control for
only HTTP/HTTPS/FTP(over Web proxy), then you can use RADIUS Proxy and
RADIUS servers. Have fun with that ;) (undocumented, but theoretically
it should work)

        If your publishing OWA sites for both domain, that's totally no
brainer easy with LDAP authentication.

        The ISA Firewall doesn't pre-auth RDP, so it doesn't matter.

        For VPN, you get to learn about RADIUS and RADIUS Proxy and how
to make it work with the ISA firewall (undocumented, but theoretically
should work)

                The Domains are separate and do not need to talk to each
other.

                No cross traffic between domains is necessary.

                Original question:


                Scenario:
                Both domains are Windows 2003.
                Both domains have Exchange servers publishing OWA etc...
                Both domains have users requiring RDP and VPN access
                All users except admins are not allowed into opposing
network

                        Wait- you mean if the ISA is not a member of any
domain, that you can
                        create LDAP Authentication Server sets to
authenticate to a "foreign"
                        domain?  Doesn't that mean credentials will be
passed in the clear in
                        that case??

                        And we're not talking about cross-domain traffic
"crossing ISA
                        boundaries" - this is just two different domains
behind ISA.

                        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?

                                Actually, it's both.
                                Domain traffic across ISA is a great
reason to increase your
                                illicit substance use.
                                Have a peek at the RPC-oriented fixes in
ISA; nearly all of them
                                have been driven by domain scenarios;
some because of RPC protocol
                                changes in the OS.

                                It's not "multiple domains behind ISA,"
it's the way you want trust
                                to work within those "multiple domains
behind ISA."

                                If you don't have some sort of
cross-trust relationship between the
                                domains, only users within the domain
that the ISA server is a
                                member of can use rules that require
user authentication (including
                                certificates).

                                        I would like to indulge the
minds of ISA List on the pitfalls of
                                        having
                                        two separate networks/domains
behind one ISA 2006 firewall.

                                        The main question: How does
authentication in ISA 2006 work with two
                                        domains?

                                        Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated - I should probably
                                        rephrase

                                        admins are not allowed into
opposing network
