When ISA is in cache-only mode, it functions as it is
described... mainly to cache with little to no
restrictions on granting access, only as you describe by
enforcing authentication to AD.

For this to work, you only need to configure your Web
Browser to point to ISA on port 8080, you do not need any
other software.

I have found though that if OWA itself is deployed on ISA,
it should require <only> Basic authentication for a remote
client behind another ISA to work. Enabling Integrated and
Digest is supposed to work but in my experience cause
problems like what you describe.

The other thing to note is that your original post
described these Users as "Visitors." Obviously, if you
will be requiring AD authentication you will need to
provide your visitors with valid credentials.
