I remember reading Tom's ISA 2000 book about firewall clients actually send 
their DNS queries to DNS servers configured on the NIC rather than to ISA 
server itself.  He even said that he confirmed it by using network monitor.
 
My machine is configured with both firewall and webproxy clients.  Whenever I 
type a FQDN and if it can't be resolved, the html error page usually displays 
ISA's message saying ISA can't resolve the domain name.  I have two internal 
DNS servers running in my domain forwarding external requests to my ISP, and I 
want all clients configured with firewall client to use the DNS server.  How 
can I accomplish this?  I don't want to place the extra burden of resolving DNS 
queries on ISA, when I have full blown DNS servers running internally.  Thanks
