The reason why people don't use the MS solutions is because the MS solutions don't meet their requirements for some reason or another. I've known a few councils to have thrown out ISA Proxy in favour of Bluecoat proxy because ISA was not up to the job of handling the load (often crashes).If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

I've never seen any problems with ISA crashing. In a couple of client firms I've had a pair of Enterprise ISA 2004 boxes load balanced as a proxy and firewall supporting up to 7000 users without issue. Had it up for over 6 months before rebooting. I would use it in conjunction with a hardware based firewall though such as the Cisci ASA as the edge firewall.
