Hi Gops,

ip protocol 50 is ESP (IP Encapsulating Security Payload) and part of the IPSec 
standard. If you want to get IPSec through ISA (internal IPSec VPN client to 
external IPSec VPN gateway) this will *not* work. ISA is doing NAPT (Network 
Address and PortTranslation) and this breaks IPSec. This is *not* a ISA 
specific problem but an incompatiblity issue between NAPT and IPSec. The IETF 
IPSec working group (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/ipsec-charter.html) 
responsible for the IPSec standard is very well aware of that problem and is 
working hard to solve that problem. In the mean time, the big IPSec vendors 
(CheckPoint, Cisco, Redcreek, Nortel, etc...) have already a vendor specific 
solution for passing NAPT device. Most of them have some form of UDP 
encapsulation of the IPSec traffic to enable passing through NAPT devices. The 
only drawback is that those solutions are at the moment vendor specific. So, 
the VPN client and Gateway must be from the same vendor.

Regards,
Stefaan
