Proxy capabilities and securenat/firewall client



Hi all,

I currently have a watchguard box as my perimeter firewall. I want to
install an ISA box as another perimeter firewall (on another public IP) in
order to utilise it's reverse web proxy functionality. I would also like to
use it as a forward proxy in combination with the surfcontrol ISA product so
I can monitor/restrict user's internet access. Some of my users are remote
workers that VPN into the watchguard firewall - I would also like to force
their web traffic through ISA.

Questions:
1) Can I proxy both HTTP and HTTPS traffic through ISA?
2) Do I need the firewall client installed to achieve this? I was intending
to push out IE proxy settings via GPO. Users have no admin rights so cannot
install other web browsers etc.
3) Do I need to do anything special to get the remote workers to proxy
through ISA? They are standard XP machines with an IPSEC firewall client
installed. Once they VPN into the watchguard, the firewall client gets an IP
address on our local subnet and can access the ISA box's private interface
by hostname or IP address?

Thanks
steve
