Jim/Tom,
 
I noticed that quite a lot of the ISA firewall appliance vendor promote
the "ISA in a new forest, with a one way trust to the existing forest"
model. Do you have the same view on this?

No; the Exch team (or certain author-wanna-bees, anyway).

I've tech-reviewed three Exch-created docs last year and without
exception, they all carried this verbal virus with them.

It's an incredible fight to get this removed and I have to admit that I
haven't been entirely successful.

You mean the ISA UE is pushing the domain=bad crapola? How do you tell a
secure EAS publishing story without it?

        They do ask; they just don't listen.

        I was asked to review a doc on EAS via ISA that's coming out
soon and couldn't get them to drop the "ISA as domain member == bad"
mantra...

        Can't believe they just make their own decision
terminology/security architecture rather than asking ISA product team
for advise on what they should be saying....maybe that is just me being
incredibly naive though ;-)

        However, one thing I DON'T want to get back to is the "single
model" DMZ -- because the entire point of this conversation is that
there is a heterogeniety of DMZs and that the problem with the Exchange
team is that they didn't understand this in the first place. :)

                It's interesting how the canaille misinterprets the term
DMZ, like they do for most things :)

                 

                Think about the Korean DMZ -- is that really a "free for
all" place? Or one of the most monitored and secured areas in the world,
where nothing happens without someone knowing about it almost
immediately?

                 

                That what you get when the Syphco reps teach a
generation of "port openers"....

                        Interesting... Probably a good idea for us to
actually articulate what we really mean when we say DMZ.
                        
                        I guess to some it means "free for all network"
but for me, it should be the network where you have the most restrictive
policies controlling each service so that it is obvious when malicious
traffic hits the wire.  Thoughts>

                        Aside from normal router & switch ACLs, ISA is
the single line of defense.
                        "..we don't need no stinking DMZs"

                        Ahh...just had a thought.
                         
                        It's all labeling.
                         
                        Jason, and others (not Jason's fault), have been
using the term DMZ.
                         
                        Historically, is the term DMZ not taken
literally as being completely firewalled off from the trusted networks,
and what Jason is talking about is trusted network segmentation.
                         
                        I betcha that's why the Exchange team don't
support it...they think it's a typical run of the mill DMZ...
                         
                        Jim, isn't MS's Internal network segmented by
usin ISA?? Including your mail servers?
