OWA problem after renewal of SSL cert

**note...I posted (sep post) this in the ISA group as well...

All:

Our SSL cert (via Network Solutions) recently expired; prior to expiration,
I renewed it and put the new one in place on my web server. We're using
forms-based authentication and a quick test (via LAN) of secure OWA after
putting the new cert in place *seemed* to show that everything was working
properly. A test from home (through ISA Server 2000) later that evening,
however, showed, otherwise. At this point, I simply thought my failure to
update the cert on the ISA server was the problem.

The next day I exported the cert w/private key and put in place on the ISA
server - everything appeared to go smooth. However, I'm still w/out OWA
access from the outside world. At this point, I *can* access OWA (http
only) when I'm on the LAN or connected via VPN, but that's it. If I tick
the box on the Exchange virtual directory to require encryption, I can't
access OWA via https on the LAN or outside the network.

Prior to the cert renewal, form-based OWA worked perfectly.

At this point, I'm at a complete loss as to which way to go to troubleshoot
this. I've reread articles re: setting up forms-based authentication,
dbl-checked settings on each of the virtual directories, dbl-checked the
web-publishing rule that's set up for OWA access through ISA 2000 and
everything *appears* to be correct, but obviously something's amiss.

I need some help - need to get back to square one and pick this issue apart
piece by piece. This means I'm open to checking every facet of my setup.

Thoughts, suggestions, links to articles to read (though I've probably read
them all at this point), etc. would be most appreciated. I really need to
get this this working again. FYI, using ISA Server 2000 and Exchange Server
2003, SP2 (fully patched)

Thanks to any/all who read/respond to this post.
