I've just been reading the overview of ExchangeDefender at the OwnWebNow web site and it certainly looks like a very impressive solution.

As an alternative approach to configuring ISA, I always try to avoid editing any of the system-generated rules. I would create a new rule to do what I need, then disable the system rule. That way, it's very obvious that the default behaviour is overridden and if you do run CIECW later, all you have to do is disable the system rule again. I also recommend using the comments/description area provided on each rule to copiously document what you did.
