A lot of blood,sweat,and tears (not to mention gallons and gallons of caffeine) went into the making of this book.Our goal was to create the definitive guide to Microsoft’s ISA Server,a reference that can be consulted by network professionals as they roll out ISA on their production networks,a supplement to the formal study guides used by MCP/MCSE candidates in preparation for Exam 70-227,and an “interpreter”for those who find the sometimes overly technical jargon in the Microsoft documentation difficult to understand.It also serves as a record of our ongoing saga of discovery,frustration,confusion,and triumph as we worked with the product and struggled to master its intricacies. There are many who contributed to the cause,without whose help the book could not have been written.We especially want to recognize and thank the following: Martin Grasdal,of Brainbuzz.com,our technical editor.Although we moaned and groaned and cursed his name each time we received our chapters back with his many suggestions for wonderful improvements that would take days of work and add dozens of pages,the book would not be half as good (and perhaps not half as long) without his much-appreciated input. Stephen Chetcuti,of isaserver.org,who provided encouragement,enthusiasm,and a forum in which we were able to promote both the product and this book,and get to know other ISA Server enthusiasts from all over the world. Joern Wettern,of Wettern Network Solutions and Technical Lead in developing the Microsoft Official Curriculum for Course 2159A,Deploying and Managing Microsoft ISA Server 2000,who provided invaluable help and served as the “official word”on those perplexing questions that did not seem to have an answer. vii 132_ISA_FM 4/2/01 4:29 PM Page viii Sean McCormick,of Brainbuzz.com,technical consultant/writer/Chief Executive Flunkie (CEF) and friend,who provided emotional and psychological support through the dark days (and nights!) when it seemed we might still be working on this book at the turn of the next century. We also must thank literally dozens of participants in the Microsoft public ISA Server newsgroup and the discussion mailing list and message boards sponsored by isaserver.org.In particular,our gratitude goes to:Rob Macleod,Nathan Mercer,Jason Rigsbee,Trevor Miller,Slav Pidgorny (MVP),Ellis M.George,Jake Phuoc Trong Ha, Terry Poperszky,Vic S.Shahid,Tim Laird,Nathan Obert,Thomas Lee,John Munyan, Wes Noonan,Allistah,Eric Watkins,Rick Hardy,Tone Jarvis,Dean Wheeler,Stefan Heck,Charles Ferreira,Phillip Lyle,Sandro Gauci,Jim Wiggins,Regan Murphy, Nick Galea,Ronald Beekelaar,Russell Mangel,Hugo Caye,and Jeff Tabian.Our apologies for anyone we may have inadvertently left out. All of the above were instrumental in the development of this book,but any errors or omissions lie solely on the heads of the authors.We have tried hard to make this manuscript as mistake-free as possible,but human nature being what it is,perfec- tion is hard to achieve. We want to send a very special message of thanks to Maribeth Corona-Evans, our editor.Her patience and understanding in the face of our weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth has earned her a permanent place in our hearts. And finally,to Andrew Williams,our publisher,whose e-mail queries regarding when the final chapters were going to be finished demonstrated the utmost in tact and diplomacy—even if undeserved on our part.
