Drop all HTTP. OK, that's not a option. This is one of the joy's of security administration - moving targets. Your best bet, IMO, is to pullout that policy you worked on so hard and beat the non-workers over the head. OK, that's not good either. But really. I would resist spending time(=$$) on a technological fix, where a more simpler policy would do. You could look into those who offer services(like cyberpatrol) that block this stuff for you. I have found that you end up opening it up, because they've classifed needed sites as one of the bad sites. Rodney, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. Robert - - Robert P.
