That's quite an ambitious undertaking!
If I can help with testing (my present profession), feel free to holler.

Hi Jim,
There's not a special need...

I've tought it would be great for my work to extend some capabilities of
ISA server, for example blocking an IP address for a certain time after a
Port Scan (just like Firewall-One for example does), or to automatically
block traffic with people who tries something like:

http://www.worm.com/default.ida?NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnn... or
http://.../scripts/..%c1%9c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir

or blocking access to the SMTP relayer to those clients who tried a
spam...
or enhance the log capabilities building a Web based application in order
to get a real-time monitoring of traffic...

I'm trying to build a full-integrated firewall solution with ISA SDK, MS
PLatform SDK and a Web Application for my customers, as I have to remotely
support and check their arrays...

You're right, for Web worms I use a "deny" Web Publishing rule for All
Internal Destination Sets, populating a client address set with those IP
addresses... I've thought it would be more appropriated...

If you have any suggestion I'd really appreciate...

Thanks again
Max
