An opinion of mine and many others here as well.......add a second NIC and
take advantage of another layer of protection that you have already
purchased anyway (for the most part except for a NIC which is minimal
compared to the Premium part of SBS).With the help of the wizards it is not
hard to configure SBS to use ISA. Even with your Cisco box out front ISA can
still provide another layer of protection if something were to ever get past
the Cisco.....kind-of like a house that has a storm door first then a heavy
insulated door just inside!
