Hi Dan,

Did you miss the "it depends" part?
If you configure the FWC statically, it will block.
If you have it configured "automatically", it will self-disable.
The same is true for IE - auto-detection is the on ly way you can reliably move 
between ISA- and non-ISA-served networks.

The answer is:
      - it depends...
Case 1 - the FWC is configured to "automatically detect": the FWC will seek out 
the ISA it last knew of and if that fails, it will try auto-detection (wpad).  
If that also fails, FWC will self-disable, but retry every so often.  This 
leaves the WFC host acting as a SecureNET client.

Case 2 - the FWC is configured to use a specific ISA: the FWC will attempt to 
contact that ISA and if this fails, will block non-local-subnet Winsock traffic 
completely.

What this boils down to is if your cross-VPN name resolution sucks, so will the 
client experience.

So, if it doesn't work like this in actual practice, how is it "supposed" to 
work?

Hi Dan,
 
I'm just telling you how it works in practice for me. It appears to shut itself 
off if it can't find the ISA firewall.
