Hi William,
 
ISA firewalls don't inspect VPN traffic, as its LAT traffic. However, if
you have Windows Server 2003 based ISA firewalls, then you can use the
VPN Quarantine to get what you want accomplish.
 
HTH,

        Hi there

         

        If I were to install some AntiVirus plugin for ISA Server, would
that allow me to prevent infections (such as Blaster etc) from entering
my company via the VPN route?

         

        I don't know if I am misunderstanding anything here, but I
cannot figure out if the VPN client traffic will be subjected to the AV
software and thus any proposed infectious traffic can be stopped.

         

        Personally I don't think this is possible, but if it is so then
I will probably have to do away with my whole VPN functionality as I
cannot always guarantee that the workstation my roaming users are using
are in fact safe... :-(

         

        Cheers

        William R.
