Hi Han, You're right. There are a lot of reason why an ISA firewall blows away the competition, but this is an important issue because it requires that the OWA site authenticate the user, instead of the ISA firewall doing it. However, there are plenty of other reasons why an ISA firewall is the firewall of choice. Thanks!

It's maybe a pro for ISA but for me it's not enough reason to say what you're saying.
