Sorry for the other blank reply.... my mouse got away from me..

Forget the two-network idea unless you or them are well aquainted with a
"Back-to-Back DMZ" concept and all the pros-cons, ups-downs, of dealing with
them.

If you want to use ISA, then be sure that the hardware you get for the
Internet connection is a simple device that has *no* IP# and does *not* do
NAT,...otherwise you are back to that "Back-to-Back DMZ" issue again. Also
avoid PPPoE like the plague.

I see no point in DHCP, but if you use it,..do it on your own Server, but it
has no effect on the Internet in any way. Personally I don't see any point
in saying that the users *need* to use DHCP,....DHCP is a "want-to" or a
"would-like-to", it is never realy a "have-to".
