Hi folks,
 
Design question. We are going to install ISA 2004 as our perimeter
firewall with 3 legs (outside, dmz, internal). I've read that the ISA
box should not be part of the internal domain for security reasons (if
someone breaks into the ISA server box, they haven't compromised the
internal AD). But, I basically want to only allow internal AD users to
have access to the internet through the ISA server. There will be some
short term (a few hours at a time) exceptions, but this is the general
plan.
 
What do most people do? Use a Radius server on the internal side to
accomplish the above goals? Or install ISA as a member server of the
internal domain? 
 
We are a windows shop, Win2K3 servers all around.
 
Is there  a source of info that would help explain the best method of
setting up and ISA server.
 
Thanks.
 
Mark
