If that's the case, then, I'd suggest performing a rolling upgrade.
The "life-blood" importance of non-interrupted service should justify that
methodology. ;)
Stand up a new box and install ISA Server 2006 on it. Run it concurrently
with ISA Server 2004. When you're satisfied everything is working, you can
then cut over to the ISA Server 2006 box and decommission the ISA Server
2004 box.
