As Jim says, ISA ain't no router.  Have a look at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=888042 for a bit of support for that
statement.  It for sure belongs in the security realm.  What are their
arguments for it being a network device?

I know I've probably asked this before, but we've got a bit of turmoil
between our Network team and Information Security.  Which Group should
manage ISA?  Our Network team is not security minded, have no interest
in
security and are not disciplined in any way.  I know I may sound biased,
but in Information Security we have had ISA Server 2000 running with
Surf
Control and no downtimes for about 2 years.  It's constantly patched,
updated (we currently have ISA Server 2004 in testing), logs reviewed,
etc.  Anyway, I got blindsided yesterday.  The Network team feels it is
more of a network device as opposed to a security device and want to
take
over administration.  Our Director has asked that we prepare something
that demonstrates where ISA should belong.  So, I thought I would ask
the
experts.  Side note - Unfortunately, we only use ISA as an
authenticating
proxy and limited firewall.  The network team has yet to build ISA into
their architecture.
