I would have to agree with Jeremy on this one. ISA server is a good
product. Not only for price and easy use, but the features. If you
have a windows 2000 domain it integrates security. Using the cache
server will allow you save bandwith by storing info on the server.
If you wish to truely secure your network you would purchase a new
server (increasing Cost). Installing a firewall like this on a
server that is already inuse can be dangerous. If you have never
worked with a firewall product choosing a hardware based system might
be difficult. They have come a long way in user interfaces, but
generally a more difficult to setup. ISA server is quick but
hardware is always faster software. To much to consider in a message
board. I don't want to write a book.
