Thanks for the clarification Jim...

Does the following KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942637/ fix the KCD 
issue, or this just for multiple domains in a single forest? If so, lack of KCD 
would be enough to put me off as this feature is great :)

Actually, that "old-school approach" does limit the threat of exposure for your 
internal forest.  It's not about "if ISA gets compromised" as much as "if an 
account is compromised".
If you have the skill and means to build that and can tolerate the limits it 
imposes (no KCD from the edge), then this is a good recommendation.
What isn't stated is that this can be one part of a layered ISA deployment.
FWIW, MSIT deploys ISA / TNG at the edge in the same forest as the user 
accounts.

Just noticed this in the current TMG documentation...disappointed this old 
school approach is still recommended :-(

"At the edge, you can install Forefront TMG as a domain member or in workgroup 
mode. As a domain member, we recommend that you install Forefront TMG in a 
separate forest (rather than in the internal forest of your corporate network), 
with a one-way trust to the corporate forest. This may help the internal forest 
from being compromised, even if an attack is mounted on the forest of the 
Forefront TMG computer. There are some limitations with this deployment. For 
example, you can configure client certificate authentication only for users 
defined in the Forefront TMG domain, and not for users in the corporate 
internal domain or forest."

You guys spent much time looking at TMG yet?
