You're confusing the "stealth" feature of many consumer firewalls with
server-oriented functionality of an enterprise firewall.
1. You can't make a service request until you have established a TCP
connection to the server.  It the port doesn't respond to requests, then the
rest of the communication never happens.
2. ISA will evaluate the connection based on the merits of the request (or
timeout, if none appears).  If it doesn't meet with the requirements of the
protocol and the restrictions you set, it's dumped.

Yeah- I could not get far with it, though I really did not try too hard... I
just don't like the ISA server saying "Hey, I've got a web server over
here!" where none exists.  As far as I am concerned, that guy should be
_totally_ silent unless explicitly asked to serve ports...

So I take it that this is "known, expected" behavior then? Anyone else _not_
experiencing this?
