Excellent choice for a Firewall

a. Configure/Prepare the Windows DHCP,...but do not "authorize" it.
b. disable the DHCP on the Linux box
c. "Authorize" the Windows DHCP Service and "activate" the Scope(s)
d. Never enable the DHCP on the Linux box again or they will clash.

Install ISA and get it working. ISA does *not* have to be the Default
Gateway of anything for it to work. ISA only needs to be the Default
Gateway (or be in the Routing Path to the Internet) for SecureNAT Clients.
Set up the LAN to use Proxy Auto-detection via WPAD. Just google "WPAD" and
limit the domain to either "microsoft.com" or "isaserver.org".
You can use both ISA and the Linux system for VPN at the same time during
the transition. The only thing that can't run at the same time is the DHCP.
Everything else can co-exist.
WPAD does not cover SecureNAT Clients. They are done manually.

You are going to be running both the ISA and old firewall VPN system at the
same time for a while.
I can't really answer anything more specific without something more specific
to answer.
