OWA/OMA Protection - Best Practices

Hello, I have a Exchange 2003/OWA frontend that is protected with RSA two
factor authentication inside a Checkpoint Firewall.

The RSA part works fine and everything is good. Now I buy a Motorola Droid
and need to set up the Exchange Sync and the RSA poses a problem. If I
remove the RSA protection the Droid connects to the OWA and syncs well.
Calls to RSA says it will not work with a Droid so I'd have to get rid of
the RSA authentication.

The question is: it looks like if I want to use a Android 2.0 based Droid
phone to sync with outlook/OMA, I have to scrub the RSA two factor
authentication. What is the best way to protect the OWA front end server
after I remove the RSA authentication? I've read all about ISA but I don't
know anything about it.

Doesn't my Checkpoint firewall provide the same protection as an ISA server?

Is protecting OWA/OMA with just a SSL certificate enough? I don't think so
myself and a vendor suggested a SSL appliance from BlueCoat.

How does everyone else protect their OWA/OMA frontend servers?

Thanks
