Avoid playing silly routing table games for traffic control when you have ISA 
firewall policies at your fingertips.  Routing table "tricks" do little more 
than add unnecessary complexity to an already complex routing structure.

When you define the S2S VPN connections using the ISA VPN weirdzards (you _did_ 
use the weirdzards?), the relevant network objects will be created for you.  
Whether these use Route or NAT relationships depends on how you want the 
clients to be seen by the remote host; as their own IP or as the ISA-local IP 
for the destination network.  If you use route mode, then the hosts at the 
remote network need to have a route back across the VPN tunnel to the local 
machine.

Yes; absolutely create subnets, computer sets and computer object for relevant 
entities in the various networks.
This helps make your ISA rules more granular, and by extension, more secure.  
Avoid the temptation to create specific rules where implied ones already exist, 
though.

Subject: [isalist] Multi Site Help

We are using ISA 2004 SP3 and we have 2 sites with a  VPN site-to-site 
connection between them.  Each site, A and B, has 3 different internal 
networks.  How do I setup Networks and Network Rules so that each of the 
individual Networks (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3 are routed to each other, but some 
networks have restricted access to each other?  I know how to setup the rules 
for access/no access, but I am at a loss how to setup the routes.



The goal is to have some networks to be able to access other networks, but not 
all.  Locally, this is not a problem, but between the remote sites I'm having 
an issue understanding the allowance of certain connections  i.e. A1 to B1 and 
B2, but not B2 to A1.  Again, I understand the rules, but the Networks and 
Network Rules are where I'm having difficulties.  I am also not sure how this 
affects the site-to-site VPN.  I noticed that there are networks that represent 
a remote VPN site to site connection.  Should these include all the Networks at 
the other sites?  Is it as simple as allowing routes between all the sites but 
creating Address Ranges or Computer Sets for allowance/restrictions in the 
Firewall Polices?



Thank you in advance.
