Re: [FW1] blocking http radio station traffic



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.
