It's true that CMAK won't configure the FWC directly, but it can run scripts 
(hint).

:) OK, that's better.

Yes, you can configure the VPN clients to use both the Firewall client and the 
Web Proxy client configuration and configure those clients to use an ISA 
Firewall that's not the one that they're connected to. You can even have the 
VPN clients take advantage of your internal WPAD entries when they connect to 
the VPN server and contact the internal DNS server.

However, its not quite that easy. The reason for that is that autoconfig will 
configure the LAN connection's Web proxy config, and you need to configure the 
VPN client connection to use the Web proxy configuration. Like Jim mentioned, 
the easiest way to do this is using the CMAK, unless you want your users to 
configure this manually. The CMAK won't configure the Firewall client, but WPAD 
will do that when the VPN client connects to the network.

HTH,
Tom

Did I say ISA client again?
I need to add some kind of rule on my outlook.

Of course I was talking about the firewall client, what else? ;-)

I have an answer, but you have to call the FIREWALL client by it's correct name 
;)

        I have 1 ISA 2004 EE configured as a proxy/firewall for internal users 
and is also acting as a VPN server (1 IP there is configured to accept VPN 
connections).

        Since for the VPN users the ISA itself is the gateway (when they are 
connected), they are going to internet trough that same ISA server.



        There is any way to force those VPN clients to use another internal ISA 
server (ISA 2006 EE) as a proxy? For sure doesn't work simply specifying the 
name of that other ISA server on the IE or proxy client, because I already 
tried.



        Both ISA servers are on the same subnet (the VPN server and the one I 
want them to use as proxy).



        Thanks
