Are you asking questions only about the current ISA2K or
possibly include ISA2K4?

ISA2K supports a single WAN interface and multiple LAN
intefaces. As a Windows box, it's fundamentaly a router,
and ISA can manage TCP/IP traffic between each interface.

Any time you ask how to provision a firewall, you will
always get "it depends." Although ISA's default
configuration hardly is different than a regular Windows
box, the more rules and types of analysis you implement
will require processing power, the more caching you do
will require more hard drive space, and the more you use
the Web Proxy Service, the more it can use RAM.
