I am setting up ISA Server 2006 and I would need to know how best can I set it so that I would not run into problems. So I will try to explain the ways I am trying to set it up and I would like to know if this will really work for me.
Presently I have the following
1. Domain Controller
2. DHCP Server (users obtain their ip address default gateway set as the ip address of the Router)
3. Router configured as the default gateway
so Clients -->> Router-->> outside
Now what I want to do is the integrate the ISA Server 2006 in the above setup so that everybody going out of out network will go through the ISA server, so that we can control the flow of traffic in and out of the network
So this is way I want to set it up
1. Router Configuration remains
2. I will change the default gateway configured in the DHCP server for the client computers to the IP ADDRESS OF THE ISA Server because i want the clients to go through the ISA Server.
3. Then the default gateway of the ISA Server will be the ip address of the Router.
so Clients --> ISA Server -->> Router-->> outside
So do you think the above setup is accurate or I need to do more.

Hi,
Yes, the above you described is the standard and fine way in your scenario. It will work fine.
The only thing I will recommend you is to use FIrewall client on your client machines, instead of providing them ISA server internal IP as getway. ISA firewall client on each PC will give you more granular access to your clients(like webCache, Logs etc).

If you want use ISA2006 as firewall, You should 2 card network minimally for separate between internal and external.
- Router ? (brand & model)
- you have server email or web publish ?
- you know about port & protocal must use.
