Thanks for your reply

Well, for one thing, I cannot use a IPSEC client from behind it (We are the
client; our customer is the "server"), which ISA does not allow.

Another is - a few times we have had problems accessing web sites and such
on "non-standard" ports.

Both these items can be resolved by using static IP addresses, but I would
like to be able to use NAT.

Also, I want to keep my/Web publishimg rules but just not restrict outbound
access under any circumstances.

I have added ALLOW ALL rules, to no avail

Thanks for any help
