speaking of "broken way" did y'all know that DNS and DHCP services (as implemented by ICS) are incompat. on the same server? Typical, MS can't even get their technologies to work with eachother.
WTF are you talking about? I have been setting-up servers with DNS and DHCP for years now and it all works like a charm.
I would just like to point out that the "everything on port 80" trend isn't limited to SOAP. WebDAV and most IM systems already work on the HTTP port and I see how this could be dangerous.
This sort of thing puts the burdon on Firewall developers to improve packet inspection when those resources could very well be used to create more useful things such as a better integrated IDS. It's just plain stupid, when the TCP protocol is so well stablished for assuring a certain level of security, to make things more complex on benefit of dumb users who don't know firewalls. It's obvious that really sensitve stuff should use SSL, but this cannot be the rule.
