No fix from SurfControl (SC) -- Jan 2005 tech support had a different
answer.  I have been going round and round with SC since September 05 on
this issue.  Here is the last msg (27 Jan 05) I received from tech
support.

My SurfControl sales rep told me, just this week, that I must purchase a
"Collector" for SurfControl @ $500 for my 2nd installation of ISA 2000
with SurfControl 5.  I currently operate two installs of ISA with
SurfControl 5 - one for SNAT clients and the other for proxy clients.  I
asked her why should I pay for their oversight - I have yet to here back
from her.

Have fun!

Hello Greg,

It has been reported and should be fix in our future release, QA is
currently investigating this issue and believe it's a Surfcontrol
related.

Thank you,
Anthony

Are you sure?  I checked that page, and it had a good sized list of
other browsers and their signatures (of course, they are being blocked
now here).  

Oh, and I just got off the phone with SurfControl, the person I was
talking to claims that the reason they can't filter SecureNAT sessions
is because they can't get a "Source IP", the ISA server hides that, so
they drop the packet from filtering.  I passed on a summary of what
David said he did to fix a possible similar problem, but he didn't seem
to want to hear it.

So, since a fix from SurfControl doesn't seem to be anywhere near being
on the horizon, anyone have any ideas how to block all SecureNAT
sessions?  I have no problems with "requiring" all users to use the FWC.

Tom,
Very good choice but where can I find signatures for other browsers? I
have followed this link and it only provides IE, or can I create a rule
that client header has to be IE?
