Re: [FW-1] Url Filtering software



I had spoken with a few of persons and I have tried
the wildcard rule and I get fast connections to the
internet
-I am using checkpoint fw-1 NG fp2
-No I not using UFP caching as it would mean less
traffic being logged
-I have about 1000 users going through on the websense
rule
-I have no problems on the firewall in terms of
proformance (this is a no issue)
