As far as VOIP, it is more of programming clashing. The programmers are
creating a object, but instead of taking into consideration real world
implementations, are going by standards for that product.
ISA is an Enterprise class firewall. It is not perfect. No firewall is
perfect. That is why it is always recommend to use a multilayered approach.
\
While other firewalls may be easier for VOIP, they can not do functions that
ISA can.
The more technology is used, the more it will be complex.

Request For Information...
It appears that lately I seem to be finding all the things that ISA cannot
do. Is ISA supposed to be an "Enterprise" level application that can truly
support Enterprise level needs? Or am I simply just asking too much of ISA.
I am asking this sincerely. I have used MS Proxy and ISA for several years
now. Frankly, I have not really looked at other products. But now that our
business has grown, so has the complexity of our network. I keep running
into issues where ISA is a roadblock and not a asset. Are the problems with
authentication, not passing protocols (even when defined), VOIP, etc ISA
centric, or am I going to have these same issues with any firewall product
we purchase? In our mixed environment of Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris,
is ISA really a good fit? Will there be a release of ISA that will address
these issues in the immediate future?
Thanks to all with more insight into this than I have.
