Dude, they were trying to be helpful. It also doesn't hurt that they were
right.
You purported yourself to be an ISA newbie - if that is true, maybe you
should listen to those who have been acknowledged as experts with it for
quite some time when they tell you there is a better way (or a more secure
one).
And, since you felt the need to wave red flags in your 'closing argument'
... for those old enough to remember what this means ... <plonk>.
(Flame away, I'll never notice it).

Wow, I have never seen such an insecure group (no pun intended). There are
quite a few reasons why I asked the question the way I did. I wanted
suggestions about HOW to do something, and received deprecating comments
about WHY I was doing something.
If you get off your soapboxes long enough you might see that in some cases,
the goal is to make the best out of a bad situation. Sometimes we can't
build the "perfect" solution.
Better yet, should my original posting have included comments like "why
anyone would try to build a security device on top of the Windows operating
system is beyond me, but..." or "while I personally would be using a
hardware firewall, this client is using Windows ISA, running on top of an OS
that I wouldn't use in a production environment if my life depended on it."
Try to be a little more helpful next time...
