By default, SecureNAT and Firewall clients have the predefined HTTP protocol bound to the Web proxy filter. ISA Server or Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, Medium Business Edition intercepts Web requests from these clients and passes them to the Web proxy filter for transparent handling. This behavior is known as transparent network address translation (NAT).
NAT substitutes a global IP address that is valid on the Internet for the internal IP address of the client request. This behavior helps protect internal addresses. In some cases, you may not require this transparent NAT behavior.
To disable this setting for SecureNAT and Firewall clients, you must disable the predefined HTTP protocol from the Web proxy filter. For information about how to disable the HTTP protocol from the Web proxy filter, see ISA Server Help or Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, Medium Business Edition Help.
