I get it now. The reason you don't want to have a default gateway is so
you can use rules that can't be got around! Thanks.

Remember; many of the recommendations you read in books, articles, email
(mine included) are exactly that; recommendations.
If you have a different need for a particular purpose, then you should
do what you need to to get your job done.
If you disallow default gateways for Joe(sephene) User, and you limit
all outbound access to user-based rules, then they can't circumvent your
ISA policies.

Subject: [isalist] Firewall Client & Default Gateway


http://www.ISAserver.org

Hello--

In "Configuring ISA Server 2000," Dr. Shinder writes, regarding
configuring a firewall client with a default gateway, "In your
production environment, you should not configure your firewall clients
with a default gateway." (page 400)

Two questions:
1. Why not?
2. What about a few of us in IT who need to be able to ping? Should I
configure these machines with a default gateway, or configure them as
SecureNAT clients?

I guess that's kind of three questions. Oh, well.

Thanks,
Rob
