I finally got things working for the most part. My first problem was using UAG 2.9 or a version prior to that as it had no customization script. 3.1 has a pretty good customization script but I was i kept fumbling through it and having to reinstall over and over. A couple of things i entered in wrong was cleared up after referencing Carl Stalhood's blog entry for Unified Access Gateway as you had pointed out.
Thanks for the responses community!
