  Thanks for clearing that. But: If ISA is not able to filter IPv6 so
  why can it be bound to an interface anyway? Just to route things
  through? Blindly through a firewall?
  Another posting talks about limited filtering capabilities. Roman

  to me that in the moment for what ever reason ipv6 is enabled on ISA
  the network it should secure is exposed.
