Just been reading this thread, and the first impression I got is no one
knows how exactly gotomypc client/server components integrate and work.
Unlike a published service through ISA firewall, gotomypc does not wait
to listen for incoming requests, rather gotmypc "pings" a pre-registered
secure broker Server to check if any secure authenticated sessions are
awaitng to be serviced. In my opinion, this is as secure or more secure
than having RDP enabled in a Internet facing host. Read this article for
detailed info. By the way Gotomypc is a company owned by Citrix, I don't
think Citrix would market an insecure product, considering the
reputation Citrix has earnt worldwide.

..and me.
Bear in mind that every networking application you add to (and make
available from) your firewall increases the attack surface.
HTTP applications have proven (regardless of author) to be the best
attractor of 'Net meanies.

While it may expand your knowledge, it will decrease your security...
RDP is more secure, and easier to control as a separate protocol/port
than 
bundling difference services within a single protocol like HTTP.   You
also
won't have to screw around with combined filters/rules (you said Win2k,
but did not specify ISA2k, but I'm assuming that is what you meant) or
proxy settings.

So while this does not specifically answer your question, it does give
you a better, faster, more secure alternative.  Personally, I would
never even consider putting GMPC on my ISA server for remote admin when
TS is a far better way to go- but that's me.

The haggis is unusual in that it is neither consistently nocturnal nor
diurnal, but instead is active at dawn and dusk (crepuscular), with
occasional forays forth during the day and night.
