Hi,

What is the recommended Default Gateway address for Servers and clients in
presence of a Firewall Appliance and ISA Server(Single NIC).

the NIC of the iSA Firewall.


Jens, you made a similar mistake in a response to a thread over in ms.public.isa.configuration.

A single NIC ISA server cannot function as a router. If you point your default gateway address to an ISA server with only one NIC, you'll cut yourself off from everthing except your local subnet.

A single NIC ISA server can only function as a proxy.

In answer to the OP's question, the default gateway should be that of the internal side of the firewall appliance, but the *proxy server address* (in IE and other proxy-aware apps), should be that of the ISA server in order to take advantage of cached content.
