Hi Tom,

Thanks for all your great articles on ISA. I'm a big newbie to ISA so I'm getting alot out of them.

In the article you mention that the MX record should be the primary public IP address of ISA. Can I not just take the IP address in my MX record and put it on the external card as I will with all the other public IP addresses that need to route through my ISA firewall? That way, I don't have to wait for DNS propagation for my MX record. By "primary" I take it you mean the first IP address given to the card which will appear in the properties page of the NIC's properties. If I'm wrong about the meaning of primary plz let me know. If that is the primary IP address then why does it have to be that primary IP address?

Thanks again!
