I can also add that SurfControl for ISA server comes complete with it's
own set of problems...

Ew.

That nasty beast is a causative part of a customer issue that's forcing
a complete rebuild of their Enterprise.

The installer is so banal that it requires the user to actually create a
config file before running it.

Shades of MS-DOS 3.3!!

i seem to still be able to hit the yahoo email pages.

That's true, when you have professional malicious users like the little
savages in our public schools, you have to go with Websense or
SurfControl or some similar content filtering solution that updates it's
database everyday.

        You can go the black-list route, but knowing the kids we have
here they will find ways around your black-list in a matter of minutes.
Your best bet is a program similar to SurfControl, that updates their
listing of websites every day.
