There are a couple of things that you have to tweak on an upgraded ISA
2004 that came from ISA 2000.

The issue you are seeing with SSL sites is the tcp/ip per connection issue
where the upgrade has picked up the number of 40 and it should be 160.

SBS specific resource is here:

That a good starter.

The SBS Unleashed book has two excellent chapters on ISA specific to SBS
as well.
