Re: isaserver.org gets SBS friendly

I'm pretty dubious about that myself, since a well-known,
not-to-be-named-by-me MVP committed to security has said that Domain
Controllers and ISA Services DO NOT MIX. If isserver.org is really
committed to security, I don't see why they should support SBS unless
Microsoft has changed SBS to allow ISA to NOT run on the same box as the DC.
