Are there plans to provide a fix for the Direct Access functionality so that it works for creating Internet FQDNs in the Direct access list? Thanks! --Tom.

Do you mind if I ask why you guys did it this way? Now I have to list every internal web site I want accessed. This has raised my administrative overhead in my consulting business because I have a lot of sites coming and going all of the time.

It has been several months since this problem with ISA has been posted, is there an update? This literally makes ISA useless to anyone wanting to use automatic configuration on it. I have several internal and external sites that I need to configure for direct access. Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response. There is a fix for this, which you can get by calling Product Support and requesting the fix for KB 920716. The KB will be published in the near future.

Thank you for your patience.

I've looked at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;920716 (revision 1.0) but I don't find any reference to the Direct Access issue.

What has changed to solve the Direct Access issue? Are we back to pre-SP2 behavior and if so, how? Do we need to specify URL's (e.g. '*.microsoft.com/*') instead of FQDN's (e.g. '*.microsoft.com') to get back the pre-SP2 behavior?

Thanks,
Stefaan

Never mind! The new KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;920715 explains it all.

I have applied this fix and it sort of works however not as described. Also my plain hostnames are no longer bypassed automatically, though this might have stopped working as soon as I added the first IP address tom the domains list.

I think it was recognized that this would create confusion, but it was too late to change the model. Maybe in an upcoming version anonymous connections will only match anonymous rules? --Tom
