I've just replaced my old ISA2k with a newly configured edge HP DL320 / ISA2k4 firewall appliance.
Though it seems to be working OK, there are strange problems, started since the ISA2k4 has been deployed, and that I cannot solve yet.
1. E-mail from some domains does not reach the exchange server, including hotmail and some corporate domains.
2. Users (SNAT clients) are unable to open some websites, including yahoo, hotmail, microsoft, llbean.com, etc. {"Web site found... Waiting for reply..." just hangs}
3. The Avaya phone system keeps rebooting, when connected to the internal network.
I have 2 internal DNS servers, no split-DNS, since the internal FQDN (local.domain.com) is different from the external (domain.com). Can it be an issue?
Does anyone have an idea what is going on? I searched through policies and rules, but was unable to trace anything.
Have this kind of issues been already discussed?
Thank you all.

Thanks for answering. By the way, thank you for your book. I was using it for the configuration.
When I switch back to ISA2k member server box, everything seems to be normal.
I suspected the DNS configuration, but I am confused by the fact that just SOME of sites cannot be open or SOME of mail servers cannot communicate with the Exchange.
Also, I just got a "Connection limit exceed error: ISA Server disconnected the following client: 172.16.17.12 because its connection limit was exceeded. For more information about this event, see the Windows event viewer." The 172.16.17.12 is the Exchange server.
On the HP DL320 appliance, in the Event Viewer, I have numerous DCOM events 10016: "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."
Should I do anything about it?
And the last question. Does your book have anything about QoS and how to prioritize the traffic going through the VPN on the ISA 2k4.
