No, not really. I wish they were though.

Quote:

The following features are not available when ISA Server 2004 is configured
in single network adapter mode:
*       IP packet filtering
*       Multi-network firewall policy
*       Application-level filtering
*       Virtual private networking
*       Server publishing
*       Firewall clients


However, Firewall clients and IP packet filter seem to indeed be working.
And they have been working for years. It's not like it was set up yesterday
and I am wondering why I doesn't work...

Greetings,



Would anyone be so kind as to attempt to convince me that I *need* two
network cards in my ISA 2004 firewall over here?



(now please note that I did not design this network.)



The configuration is made like this. The servers and the local LAN share one
subnet (192.168.10.0/24) and are all behind a netscreen firewall. Somewhere
among the servers is a single nic ISA 2004 server with a gateway (the
netscreen). The client workstations use the Firewall client to connect to
the internet, for they have no gateway, and even if they did, the netscreen
is configure to only NAT out specific IPs.



So far, it works. With a few hitches, but it works. We can add filtering
rules for the client workstations, and restrict what we want.



Why should I add another card and redesign part of the network that is
already working?



(I honestly did not do such a thing. I'd redesign it, but my client is not
necessarily happy about this, and I need arguments.)
