Hi John,

How many nics in the server? DNS should always point to the server IP. You
shouldn't need to change anything on the clients if you have set them to
obtain an IP and DNS automatically from the SBS DHCP server.
You can always install ISA, but only with 2 nics it is in integrated mode.
With 1 nic you only get the cache mode.
