Should there be an ISA Server 2000 based firewall appliance? This subject comes up from time to time on the ISAServer.org Web boards and mailing list and I think its an excellent idea! Many people won't use ISA Server as a firewall because it doesn't look like a firewall. What if someone could come out with a ISA Server 2000 firewall appliance on a super hardened version of Windows Server 2003? I think it would be a great idea! How about you? You can even win something if you participate.
