So if you have to actually load a client applet on any workstation using the ISA proxy, why exactly is it described as being transparent?
The problem you encounter in web proxying is that you can either be transparent, i.e. no configuration required, or you can have authentication. One or the other.
The reason is that if the browser doesn't know it's being proxied, it can't pass in the authentication information. I hear that ISA server can do it, but then I hear you have to have a client loaded on the PC. Which means it's NOT transparent at all.
So maybe you mean something different by "transparent"?
