You don't need to set up another service in the network.
If the FWC is set to "automatic", then it won't interfere.
It's an option, y'see.

Interesting, I understand exactly what you're saying. But why is MS forcing
us to have to setup some other service on our network, just to get the FWC
to simply "release" the request once it can't locate the ISA server. Why
must they be so "difficult" in their reasoning?
