again, Charlies #1 ( ).
Hyper-V R2 or Server Core R2 with Hyper-v alone would be best.
Not only seperate partitions and seperate NICs, but seperate spindles should
be considered for performance.
Will ISA work, Will ISA provide security to the LAN? Yes, but.... ISA can
not *fully* protect the Hyper-V Physical NIC that you will configure as a
Virtual NIC. ISA will function and appear to be providing full capabiliites,
but effectivly it is running on an virtualized Network device. If the
physical network device can be compromised underneath ISA, then your Hyper-V
host and all that is connected to it *could* be at risk. I'm not aware of
anyone having done this, but theoretically, it is possible.
