Hi John,
Exactly. By installing the 2nd SBS as a member server in the first SBS
machine's domain, you can benefit from obtaining Windows 2000 and ISA
Server for less than what you might pay had you purchased Windows 2000
and ISA Sever separately. However, I haven't priced this out, so I don't
know if it would be less or not :-) Most places I deal with have corp
lic's so this onzies and twozies thing something I just ciphering out
:-)
Thanks!

OK.

I am not sure about a auto-detection, but there is nothing to prevent
you
from having more than one domain/forest on a network. They just will not
share AD objects.
Even if you install from the I386 folder, the files will be specific to
SBS
in the same way that you can not use the I386 folder from a MSDN for a
retail install. The license keys will not work.
Having said that though, it is an interesting idea to test.

Is the point to have ISA as part of the SBS domain? If not, Then install
the
2nd SBS using ISA as the firewall. If so, maybe go with a Sonicwall on
the
edge to off load most work, then leave ISA on SBS for the integrated
stuff.
