Since you want ISA to treat the RRAS server as the upstream device, you'll have 
to change your network a bit.
You'll be creating a perimeter network between ISA and the RRAS box, since they 
share a common network - the LAT.
Add a NIC to the RRAS box and give it a whole new RFC-1918 subnet.
Change the ISA external subnet to match the new RRAS subnet and connect them 
together.  Use the RRAS IP as the ISA default gateway.
What your internal clietns will do is to use the ISA as their defult route and 
then that traffic will be passed to the RRAS box for distribution.

Hi Jim

I just have the Routing enabled on the ISA.
You mean my private Lan card on the ISA box must have a default gateway, and 
that should be the IP address of the RRAS box?

Thanx in advance.

You say you "have routing enabled" on the ISA.
Does this mean that the RRAS server is the ISA default gateway, or have you 
just enabled IP routing in ISA?
ISA must use the RRAS box as the default gateway to the Internet if it's to 
route properly.
Your ISA ISAInfo (http://isatools.org/isainfo.1.9.5.zip) and the RRAS box 
ipconfig/all output will be very useful.

Hi All,

I have a specific requirement and would like to know if this is practically 
possible and if so some guide lines.

I have deployed an ISA box with a lot of help from the Guides and Articles 
posted here.All my internal network exists behind this box.
Now i have two Internet Service Providers. I also have a remote site to which i 
require VPN connectivity. This is configured using a windows 2000 server and 
placed out side the ISA box. This box, which i will call the VPN box, has 
multiple NIC cards. One of the NIC's is used for local lan, one each for my two 
ISP's.
My ISA box also has Routing enabled to direct all requests to my VPN box.

My requirement is to be able to provide routing functionality on this server, 
such that i can selectively pass traffic through my ISP's. This i am able to do 
well enough on the VPN box. But my clients having a gateway to my ISA box, are 
in no position to take advantage of this routing. For eg: If i do a tracert for 
http://www.hotmail.com/ from my VPN box, it does find the target. But when i do 
the same from one of my client machines behind the ISA, it finds till the VPN 
box and then drops all packets destined to the internet. But the packets to my 
remote network get routed to the VPN correctly.

Thanx in advance.
