This tale is neither old nor married.
ISA Server stops serving requests if it can't log the traffic it serves.
Since firewall logs can be (and sometimes are) legal data, the data they contain must be unimpeachable.

Following this MSDE/SQL question....
I've heard that when logging is to an SQL server, the whole network
connectivity then becomes dependant on that SQL server.
i.e. If the SQL server crashes - the ISA machine, with nowhere to log to
anymore, resjects ALL traffic in and out.
Is this correct or just an old wives tale ?
