Internal Routing and the FW client

My network is setup with 3 Sites which are redundantly connectd via PPP
links using Private Addressing.  Site 1  192.168.10.x  Site 2 192.168.20.x
 Site 3 192.168.25.x.

Each site has a Router running OSPF.  My Main Site (Site 1) has a second
router connected to the Internet for web surfing et al.  All other sites
go to Site 1 to access the Internet.

I want to put the ISA Server 2004 in Front of the Internet Router to allow
outbound web surfing and email,  and inbound access to our web and Email
servers.  If I install the FW Client on All of my hosts at every site,
will I use their local router as their Default GW or the IP address of the
ISA Server's Internal Interface?  In other words, will the FW Client know
to route through the local router of each subnet in order to connect to
the the other subnets and ISA Firewall?

Also, does this mean that each of my hosts at each site will need to go
through the ISA Server to connect to hosts at the other subnets or will
they simply bypass the ISA?

This may be a dumb question but for whatever reason, I can find the
answer.

Thanks in advance.
