So, in other words, yes it does work but you have to take extra steps to
make it work and you have to have knowledge of routing subnets.

OK, so I take back what I said about it not working and replace that with
"It works but requires extra steps and if you do not get all the steps right
it will not work."

Excellent analogy and why I would much rather tell some one it does not work
you should do it this way the correct way. I mean, how much does an extra
NIC for the ISA server and a Wireless access point to connect to it to make
a un-trusted DMZ off the ISA itself really cost? For the security it brings,
not much!

And yes, I cringe every time I hear Leo say "Your ISP's router is already
doing NAT which is a firewall so you should be fine."
