Hi Tom,
 
That is a frequently asked question, but I think its more of a design
question rathar than something that can be fixed or "done". I suppose
the design philosophy was that if a protocol were so poorly designed, OR
required such a complex set of negotiations, that it would be better to
let an ALG handle the connections, rather than having Protocol Rules
deal with them. 
 
What type of applications are you thinking of? Online games?
 
Thanks!
Tom

        How about why ISA cannot have a protocol definition that can be
defined to open a range of ports (not secondary ports) for incoming or
outgoing?

        Hey folks,
         
        I was wondering about starting a new list of questions that I
could maybe present to the Microsoft folks regarding ISA Server. These
are questions that have been asked many, many times over the last two
years and there's never been an answer to them. Now, I'm not talking
about Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that are just asked because the
person hasn't done his homework. I mean those tough questions that have
ben extant over the years and there's just no answer for them. For
example:
         
        *         Why do VPN gateway links just "die on the vine" and
are not automatically re-established and the RRAS console shows the
connect is still alive?
        *         Why do so many people see an error regarding the
upstream proxy being unavailable, even though everything seems to be
working correctly?
        *         What do DNS server publishing rules die and not come
back until you restart the IPNAT service?
        *         How do you stop NetBIOS node adapter status queries
from taking place when the ISA Server is attempting to do a reverse
lookup?
        *         What do all those entries in the reports mean?
        *         Why do I sometime get a DNS error when posting a
response on the ISAServer.org message boards, and the only fix is to
change from a Web Proxy client to a Firewall client, and why does it fix
itself if I just close all the browser windows?
        *         Does the NetMeeting client require a Site and Content
Rule that allows it access to all Sites and Content, or can we create a
more discreet Site and Cotent rule that will still allow the internal
network NetMeeting client to recieve calls from external users who call
them via a phone number
        *         How do you configure the H.323 Gatekeeper to work with
a 3rd party PBX on the DMZ? Is it possible?
        I've got a million of them :-) 
         
        I'm not sure what to call this list, but I was thinking of
calling it "Frequently Unanswered Questions", although I'm not sure how
the acronym will go over ;)
         
        Thanks!
        Tom
