ISA Server 2006 and Firewall clients

I have got isa server 2006 installed on a server also Active directory
running on it, I have got all clients computer installed firewall client
software for ISA. My question is one of my computer im currently using
havent been joined to the domain and is using firewall client to use proxy
server which is provided by ISA server, I ve made a change on hosts file on
this client like adding a line test.domain.com pointing to 127.0.0.1 .
however when i navigate the website it pops up a page that saying "Network
Access Message: The website cannot be found ", this content generated by isa
server, how can i skip this that isa would let me navigate my localhost
(127.0.0.1)

also on this client computer dns servers pointing to this server which runs
ISA,AD,DNS servers on it.

and also is there any document for newbees what is the best practice using
ISA and AD.

thanks

Running ISA on a DC is not a supported configuration.
If this was an ASA would you try to run a DC on it? ISA is a firewall
product just like ASA (even comes in a hardware format). Treat it like a
firewall,..give it dedicated hardware.

If a Client is not a Domain Member I don't think you can use the FWC
software on it.

Hello Cem,

For ISA better post to:
microsoft.public.isaserver

and as Philipp mentioned for ISA use a dedicated server and not a DC.
