Yep, this reminds me of the crap that the WSUS guys put together saying
that "you should have a firewall" in front of the ISA firewall. What a
bunch of morons.

..don't get too excited, Susan.
A - it's a re-publish of a year-old document
B - "Note: The Microsoft Perimeter Network Configuration Wizard
is not compatible with Microsoft Windows(r) Small Business Server 2003
or Microsoft Small Business Server 2000."
C - It *only* works if you install ISA 2004 on a machine with
three NICs - not exactly the most common deployment; "The firewall
server must have three network interface cards (NICs)."
D - The minimum requirements for ISA are incorrect; the doc
states that the ISA needs a minimum of 128MB RAM and a 133MHz processor.
http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/evaluation/sysreqs/default.mspx
clearly states that the minimum is 256MB RAM and a 533 MHz processor
E - it states that the OS should be "Window Server 2003,
Standard Edition or Web Edition"; this is patently wrong, since ISA will
not even install on Web Edition
..and that's just what I see in a quick 5-minute scan.
IOW, this seems to have been written without the merest nod from
the ISA team (not the first one of its kind, either).
