Well,
All I can do is give you my thoughts on this issue. 
1.      Windows 95 will need an AD adapter to work with Active
Directory.
2.      I don't think that MAC'S can plug into active directory. I could
be wrong.
3.      http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver has a list that talks about
configuration and
4.      capacity planning for isa server.

5.      VPN http://www.tacteam.net/isaserverorg/g2gp2.htm

I wish I could give you more. I'm just not that sure about the MAC's
with active directory. They can connect though with TCP/IP and the
various ports that use that will connect via ISA.

Subject: [isalist] isa / school system
 
I've been using ISA Server for about 6 months and am looking at
implementing it in a school system instead of some of my other firewall
solutions. I wanted to get some input on the configuration and design of
this implementation..
 
Basically, it is a school system with 300+ computers (from Apple IIe's
and iMAC's to Win95-2k machines) spread throughout the school building,
and several pc's connected to the network at a remote location through a
dedicated T-1.
 
Will 1 ISA Server be able to service all these? Right now they have a
router that gives everyone access, the ISP upstream has a proxy service
that filters content. But it takes up to 2 weeks to get sites blocked,
so they want to implement some of their own blocking at a local level.
 
The are also wanting a new files server/domain controller on the inside
(active directory) which they would have VPN access through the ISA to,
to access datafiles for a gradebook program from home.
 
Please offer any thoughts or comments.
 
 
 
Thank You,
