The Domains are separate and do not need to talk to each other.

No cross traffic between domains is necessary.

Original question:

Scenario:
Both domains are Windows 2003.
Both domains have Exchange servers publishing OWA etc...
Both domains have users requiring RDP and VPN access
All users except admins are not allowed into opposing network

Wait- you mean if the ISA is not a member of any domain, that you can
create LDAP Authentication Server sets to authenticate to a "foreign"
domain?  Doesn't that mean credentials will be passed in the clear in
that case??

And we're not talking about cross-domain traffic "crossing ISA
boundaries" - this is just two different domains behind ISA.

That's not true either; ISA can use LDAP to authenticate foreign domain
accounts without being a member of either - that's exactly why we added
LDAP auth.
It's the cross-ISA domain traffic that makes it nearly impossible.
IOW, if there exists any form of cross-domain trusted traffic that
crosses ISA boundaries, you will have problems.

Not at all... it is only an "issue" if you need AD-based authentication
for both domains. If so, then you'll just need to create a trust (one
way will work just fine). What "cross-trust issues" are you referring
to?

So.... All would agree that having two domains behind ISA 2006
creates enough complexity (for one who does not enjoy cross-trust
relationship between domains issues) for it to be impractical?

Actually, it's both.
Domain traffic across ISA is a great reason to increase your
illicit substance use.
Have a peek at the RPC-oriented fixes in ISA; nearly all of them
have been driven by domain scenarios; some because of RPC protocol
changes in the OS.

That's what I was going to say ;)

It's not "multiple domains behind ISA," it's the way you want trust
to work within those "multiple domains behind ISA."

If you don't have some sort of cross-trust relationship between the
domains, only users within the domain that the ISA server is a
member of can use rules that require user authentication (including
certificates).

Sounds like an excellent scenario for an article! I'll pound it out
this
weekend.

Thanks!

I would like to indulge the minds of ISA List on the pitfalls of
having
two separate networks/domains behind one ISA 2006 firewall.

The main question: How does authentication in ISA 2006 work with two
domains?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - I should probably
rephrase
this ;-)

Scenario:
Both domains are Windows 2003.
Both domains have Exchange servers publishing OWA etc...
Both domains have users requiring RDP and VPN access All users except
admins are not allowed into opposing network
