Microsoft Engineers think otherwise

___________________________Quote from the Microsoft E-
mail---------------------------------------

PROBLEM:
Normal "External" users work fine when connecting via PPTP.
However, if a user from an IP address in his custom external network
tries to connect, they get denied.
 
CAUSE:
Creating an external network that ISA is not a part of (or has a direct
route to) is not valid. To achieve what we're looking to achieve with
FTP/VPN, we need to be using an address range, not a custom external
network.

RESOLUTION:
Deleted the custom external networks and recreated all rules using
address ranges instead.
