Hello there, we are using ISA 2004 and ISA 2006 as a proxy with strong MIME and URL based filtering to securley grant web access to several computer classroom installations.
It is robost and secure (almost no vulns and no patching needed). Three things to mention: 1) isa server needed more hardware-power than i expected upfront. With a lot of filtering, (AV) scanning and logging (separate server) going on, you'll need to size your servers accordingly. 2) i dont like the ISA Site to Site VPN. There are many other secure VPN solutions out there that are easier to set up. 3) price tag of the enterprise editon. For what?

A little painful getting the Celestix appliances working for the site-to-site VPN. ISA is used to publish multiple SharePoint sites (extranet and internet), Exchange (webmail, rpc-http, activeSync). It has been great :) Kind Regards Sarbjit Singh Gill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Guillermo Fontana Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 12:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ISA as a proxy Hello I have been using ISA 2006 as a web proxy for a year or so. It is used also as a reverse proxy (web publishing), and so far it's a stable product without any problems. It is important to dimension the size of the cache in advance so you don't have to resize it later. I'm currently using aprox. 30 GB and it's a fine size for 120 users.
