OK, so ... assuming that the primary DNS is on the public side of ISA - you
will need to create a packet filter on the ISA server to allow the zone
transfer.  There are protocols already created for "DNS Zone Transfer" &
"DNS Zone Transfer Server" (look in Policy Elements/Protocols in the ISA MMC
to see how they are set up), but these won't be available for Packet
Filters.
 
In the ISA MMC right-click on IP Packet Filters (in Access Policy) and
select new, then filter.  Name the filter, select allow, select custom, set
it up for protocol=TCP direction=inbound local port=53 remote port=all, use
the default external interface, and restrict it to the IP address of your
current firewall. 
 
I wouldn't leave the packet filter enabled indefinitely, but it should allow
you to get the zones transferred.
 
As a side note - it would be far better to set up a DNS server *behind* ISA,
and then server publish it.  Running other processes on the ISA server is a
security risk (as you most likely already know).

Actually, I am replacing my aging firewall with ISA, My old firewall also
served as the SOA for my public domains, I wanted my ISA server to also
serve in this manner when I eventually shut off my old firewall, for now I
was trying to get my Primary Zone file transferred off my old firewall and
onto my ISA server, when I turn off my old firewall all I need to do is
change my zone file from secondary to primary on the ISA server, make sense?
so for now I can not even get the zone transferred .. ?

Glenn,  are you using ISA as a DNS Server or just trying to get the
information to a DNS server behind ISA ??

Ok - did that and the same results, was unable to xfer zone, in addition, I
was no longer able to do NSLOOKUPs so I re-enabled the DNS Filter ... The
DNS Filter definition is for DNS lookups, do I have to create special packet
filters and apply them to the Public interface of ISA to get a successful
Zone XFer ?

Hi Glenn,
 
Disable the DNS filter and try it again.

To allow DNS Zone XFers onto a Microsoft ISA Server, does one have to create
Protocol Rules that include the pre-defined DNS protocols? I get a 6523
error when I try to create a secondary zone file and transfer it from my
primary DNS Server ???


  Thank U
