What port ranges are used and how does it work?

I'd like to hear more of your observations on this. However, the problem with the sonicwall firewall setup is that if you run ISA Server 2000 on the SBS box that runs the Exchange Server, you cannot avail external users of Exchange RPC publishing. The only way to do this is to disabling packet filtering, in which case, there's no point to even installing ISA Server, since its no longer a firewall without packet filtering protection. The Problem is that there's no way to disable RPC socket pooling. When you can't disable socket pooling, you can't create Server Publishing or Web Publishing Rules on that socket. The only other option is to create packet filters, but in order to create packet filters, you have to open the entire ephermal range of ports using static packet filters, which gets back to the poor security provided by tradition packet filtering based devices like PIX or sonicwall, and the reason why you want an ISA based appliance in front of the SBS box so that the customer is able to fully take advantage of the Exchange Server and remote Outlook 2000/2002/2003 client.
