Hi Tom, 
 
what kind of workarounds for the problem are you talking about? Can you
share them? 
 
Thanks, 
Stefaan

Hi Tiago,
 
Perhaps. If you depend on your Direct Access list (and who doesn't?). Its
already caused me some lost hours of sleep, but I haven't characterized it
as well as Stefaan has, since I've found workarounds for the problem. I
don't want to do an article on it until the problem has been characterized
better by MS. I *suspect* its a known problem internally, but they don't
want to say anything until they have a fix or workaround.
 
Tom

I guess I'll hold the SP2 upgrade 'till this is settled =)

Hi Stefaan,

Ha! I thought I was going crazy when I kept saying that SP2 broke Direct
Access. I'm glad you're seeing the same thing. I thought perhaps it was
something whack with my test bed.

Hey guys, 

There is a change in behavior if you configure sites for direct access
(ISA Internal Network properties -> Web Browser). It doesn't work the
same as in SP1! 

This is the configuration: a workstation with the Firewall client
installed and IE configured with the routing script. 

1. If you configure only the IP range for direct access:
   a) a request by FQDN in IE is sent as a Web Proxy client request.
   b) a request by IP in IE is sent as a Firewall client request. 

2. If you configure only the domain for direct access: 
   a) a request by FQDN in IE is sent as a Web Proxy client request.
   b) a request by IP in IE is sent as a Web Proxy client request. 

3. If you configure both the domain *and* the corresponding IP range for
direct access: 
   a) a request by FQDN in IE is sent as a Firewall client request.
   b) a request by IP in IE is sent as a Firewall client request. 


So, the question is obviously why is for case 2.a the request not sent
as a Firewall client request (this was the behavior in SP1)? 
Is this a bug and is there a workaround other than adding the
corresponding IP range?
