A host with a default route to the ISA via its default gateway becomes a
secureNAT client.  If you don't want them to become secureNAT, don't point
their default gateways to the ISA server.

On pg400 of Tom's book (ISA Server 2000) he says "you should not
configure your firewall clients with a default gateway" (last sentence
above "NOTE")
Can anyone comment on what would be the downside of doing this - is it
because of a performance or security issue?
