Cache mode with a single NIC was the correct choice.
You have to identify the upstream route to ISA in Network Configuration.
The ISA help covers this quite well.

Subject: [isalist] Cache to upstream server within LAN


http://www.ISAserver.org


I am working in a large enterprise which wants to setup ISA to reduce the
load on internet gateways that are available only across the WAN.  There
is no need for a firewall, as the server does not have (and cannot have)an
outside address.  It does have two NICs that I would like to take
advantage of. The server OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server, not
Datacenter. The domain is still NT 4, so ISA must be loaded in stand-alone
mode. I tried to setup in Cache mode only, but ISA in this configuration
had only dial-up to the internet.

I rebuilt, setting up ISA in integrated mode.  I got the server working,
but all of the traffic was on one NIC only.  I attempted to exclude the
second NIC from the LAT -- which did not help.  In a display of poor
judgement I attempted to use Compaq's teaming of the NICS.  That hosed the
server.  I plan to rebuild to have a clean configuration.

My goal is caching internet requests, utilizing both NICS, maintaining the
capablity of filtering ports, and having the ability to later
monitor/filter content. I am Proxy certified, this is my first attempt at
deploying ISA.  It has not gone quite as easily as expected...

Thanks.
