"Both domains have users requiring RDP and VPN access All users except admins 
are not allowed into opposing net"
How is ISA to identify users without authenticating?
Basically, this requirement imposes the following configuration:
1. RDP traffic across ISA must be authenticated
2. in order to authenticate DRP traffic, it can only be handled by the FWC
3. in order to authenticate FWC traffic for a domain user, ISA must be a member 
of that domain
4. in order to authenticate a foreign domain user, the domain in which ISA 
participates must trust the foreign domain

How is a domain trust not required here?

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).

                        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
