Yea, it will work,...sorta-kinda....

This leaves you with Clients making their own routing decisions instead of
letting the LAN do it with an actual router which is where routing decisions
are supposed to be made.

This kind of stuff always grows,..the company sooner or later is going to
come up with "new" things they want to do with this connection and you are
going to wish you did it the way I suggested when you start having to
maintain individual static routing tables on every machine on the LAN
manually one at a time.

Um, actually, this way the routing is only on the ISA machine. I have
all the workstations on the LAN using the ISA box as the default
gateway. So any changes/additions just need to be done once.

Perhaps it wasn't clear from my initial writeup. I only did a static
route on my workstation to test -- not because I want to have it
permanently.

You have to always think of the future and where the functionality of the
LAN is going to evolve as time goes on.

Agreed. Next time you're in NYC or I happen to find myself in central
IL, I owe you a drink.
