Aaaah, the thlot pickens. :-)

 

I understand the whole "LAT Traffic" problem, but the "VPN Quarantine" I
presume is a new feature within Win2K3? Is it a plugin that ISA capitalises
on, or has it got nothing at all to do with ISA?

 

Cheers

William R.

Hi William,

 

ISA firewalls don't inspect VPN traffic, as its LAT traffic. However, if you
have Windows Server 2003 based ISA firewalls, then you can use the VPN
Quarantine to get what you want accomplish.

 

HTH,

Tom

Hi there

 

If I were to install some AntiVirus plugin for ISA Server, would that allow
me to prevent infections (such as Blaster etc) from entering my company via
the VPN route?

 

I don't know if I am misunderstanding anything here, but I cannot figure out
if the VPN client traffic will be subjected to the AV software and thus any
proposed infectious traffic can be stopped.

 

Personally I don't think this is possible, but if it is so then I will
probably have to do away with my whole VPN functionality as I cannot always
guarantee that the workstation my roaming users are using are in fact safe.
:-(

 

Cheers
