Firewall Wizards: PIX -> ISA -> OWA Configuration

[Jason Gomes <greyline () phreaker net>]

What is the preferred placement for a OWA front-end server given these 
two possible network configurations and why?
1) [Internet] <==> [PIX Firewall] <==> [ISA Proxy] <==> [PIX Firewall] 
<==> [OWA] <==> [Internal Net w/Exchange Svr]
2) [Internet] <==> [PIX Firewall] <==> [ISA Proxy] <==> [OWA] <==> [PIX 
Firewall] <==> [Internal Net w/Exchange Svr]
Notes:
The ISA server is performing a reverse proxy for HTTPS connections.
In #1, the backend firewall will only allow port 443 through to OWA.
In #2, all ports required for OWA to communicate with the internal 
exchange server is allowed.
