I changed the IIS SSL bindings to bind the cert to one specific IP address
instead of the default "all unassigned". I changed this back and everything
works great. I can't imagine this is by design- this has to be a bug!  MS?

So here are the facts about ISA Server 2006 and Windows Server 2008.  The are not compatible.  ISA 2006 will not even start the installation process on x64 Server 2008.  It will start on x86, but you can only install the ISA management tools.  You cannot install the firewall services.  I read a blog on Microsoft stating that the new version of ISA will only run on x64, but I haven't bothered to look into when that is coming out or what it will be called.  Until then, Server 2003 R2 for ISA 2006 is fine!

Wow.  I guess Dell really does have some great sales.  I'm not much of a "sales" guy when it comes to shopping, but last month I bought 5 servers 64bit (Poweredge T105) for $499 each before tax.  The exact same builds are now $1496 before tax.  I guess some sales truly are worth looking out for.  Grr, I just wish I had bought 5 more!!!!
