Thanks for clearing that. But: If ISA is not able to filter IPv6 so
why can it be bound to an interface anyway? Just to route things
through? Blindly through a firewall?
Another posting talks about limited filtering capabilities. Roman
wrote, icmp went through. So where is the borderline? It still seems
to me that in the moment for what ever reason ipv6 is enabled on ISA
the network it should secure is exposed.
