Re[3]: Bypassing ISA Server 2004 with IPv6

Dear Christine Kronberg,

Microsoft  ISA  Server  can't  filter  events  from Microsoft Mouse, but
Microsoft Mouse can be bound to computer. It's security risk, but I know
how to secure mouse without ISA and I accept this risk.

IPv6  can  not  be  filtered  by  ISA,  but  it still can be filtered by
different  tools,  or  by  it's own means, as IPv6 support network-level
security.  Unlike IPv4, IPv6 supports authentication, integrity checking
and  encryption  natively.  See ipsec6.exe and descriptions for Security
Association Batabase and Security Policy Database.

You are not right.

1. IPv6 is not installed by default.
2. If IPv6 is installed, routing is not enabled by default.
3. If  you  install  IPv6,  you  can be bind it to only interfaces it's
required. To prevent IPv6 (or another routable protocol, such as IPX) on
external  interface  you  can (and you should) unbind this protocol from
interface in network connection properties. ISA is not required for this
task and is not supposed for this task.
