Certificate Authentication - Part 1
Author: Thomas Shinder

probably using MS-CHAPv2 authentication and the PPTP VPN protocol. While that 
provides decent security for your gateway to gateway link, how about moving to 
the next level? That's right, use EAP/TLS certificate authentication and 
L2TP/IPSec. Sounds hard? Its easier than you think. Check out part 1 today!

everyone and standing in line at a soup kitchen. Windows Server 2003 supports

Title: Supporting Internet Host Name Resolution for ISA Server SecureNAT Clients
Author: Thomas Shinder
Summary: One of the more problematic situations businesses running ISA Server 
firewalls run into is name resolution support for SecureNAT clients. Unlike the 
situation with Firewall and Web Proxy clients, where the ISA Server firewall 
resolves Internet host names on their behalf, the SecureNAT client must be able 
to resolve Internet host names themselves. If the SecureNAT client can?t 
resolve the name, the connection fails. Check out this article for a great, low 
maintenance solution to this problem.
