Yep - he's a network-idiot. 
Higher-level encryption is irrelevant to transports & ports.
The solution sorted by the "other" ISA customer sounds a lot more reasonable 
(and probably based on log analysis, to boot).

Here is a response I got after telling them it was ISA - does this sound legit? 
 I think I know how to do it, just wanted to see what y'all said first....this 
is a paste from tech support:

"I have been working with another ISA Server customer, who came up with a 
solution that seemed to work for him.  Please try this and let me know how it 
works out for you.

My best guess is that the encryption we do to the packets makes ISA Server not 
treat them as a standard protocol packet, even though they are in a TCP 
wrapper.  That's sheer speculation, of course, but the solution has recently 
worked for another ISA Server user... so let's give it a try!"

Hi Neil,

Good luck with your future career as poker champ. Hope to see you on TV
:)

They not really giving you very useful information. You need to know what 
protocols are required inbound and outbound.
