Hey Dan,

Sometimes simplicity is elegance :) (Einstein)

This configuration pretty much replicates the ISA Server 2000 HTTP
Redirector filter settings that allow you to drop connections from
SecureNAT and Firewall clients.

That won't work, it's too simple.

Hey folks,

Regarding the SurfControl issue, it sounds like the primary issue is
that non-Web proxy clients can reach the Internet when the Web proxy
client configuration is disable. If we fix this, then most of the
problem is solved -- since we can whack the employee over the head for
explicitly carrying out an action that subverts network use policy.

So, how to do it?

1. Create a Protocol Definition for TCP 80 outbound
2. Do NOT bind the Web proxy filter to the Protocol Definition
3. Create an Access Rule that Denies this protocol, put it above all the
allow rules
4. Test from a SecureNAT or Firewall client. Go to a Web site and see
the connection denied
5. Configure the same client as a Web proxy client too -- Web site
access is allowed

Why do it work? Because Web proxy clients always remote their
connections to the Web proxy listener, which is by default TCP 8080 on
the ISA firewall's local interface (local to the client)

HTH,
