Hi David,
It is an interesting question. I've never used the built in Windows
Server 2003 firewall because I've always run ISA Server on edge Windows
Server 2003 machines. From what I've heard, its pretty limited and
doesn't even allow you to publish services on the internal network. What
means its guys a powerful feature included with the Windows Server 2003
RRAS NAT. Even the lowly Windows XP/98 ICS allows you to do this when
ICF is enabled. However, I haven't tested this myself, so its hearsay
right now.
HTH,
Tom

On another note, I'm surprised there is no logging ability for the
native
Win2K3 firewall. The ICF for Windows XP *does* logging (in an out of
the
way file) and I had thought it would do so for 2K3 since it is basically
"XP Server" (noting how many MS utilities say, "runs on 2K3 *or* XP
SP1".)
Take care,
Dave
