Hi Dan, I haven't read this whole thread, but it sounds like you want to configure a LAT-based DMZ. Right? Thanks!

I'll experiment with what you have below. To answer the question, the serverLAN will have free access to the woekstationLAN, but not the other way around. Neither LAN will use the ISA as a direct Internet gateway, the PIX will still fulfill that function. So far, the ISA server has ground to halt without the serverlan in the LAT, or more specifically the domain controllers in the LAT.

The external interface would connect to the PIX. (Why not get rid of the PIX?) The serverLAN NIC would connect to all the servers. That subnet would be not be in the LAT. (Tom or Jim or someone can correct me on this.) It would be a virtual DMZ using Private IP address. The workstation LAN NIC would connect to all the workstations. That subnet would be in the LAT. You can then create publishing rules for the servers in the DNZ and other rules using groups to allow and/or restrict access from the workstationLAN to the serverLAN. You can create the needed rules to allow/restrict access between the serverLAN and the Internet. You can create the needed rules to allow/restrict access between the workstatonLAN and the Internet. The only thing I am hazy about is if the serverLAN subnet would go into the LAT. If I have time, I will get out the good doctor's book and reread that section.
