I am considering installing websense on the ISA and if I have read the
documentation correctly you can point the PIX to the websense server and
even if the user circumvents the proxy to navigate to a forbidden site
the pix will still block it (url-server command).

Well, for what it's worth, it's quite simple to setup an ACL on the
inside interface of the PIX to only allow outbound traffic from the
trusted IP of the ISA Server.

Works like a charm as the PIX will (quite arrogantly) deny all other
requests!!!

Actually, this is the most common setup.
Folks with existing firewlls deploy ISA as a caching device all the
time.

As Shawn stated, you can still use ISA as a second-layer firewall, but
that's not a requirement unless you maintain the present two-NIC
installation.

The biggest caveat is making sure that no web traffic crosses the PIX
unless it comes from the ISA (or other pre-approved IP).  ISA can only
control what it sees, after all...

Hi all,
 
For reasons I'm not going to get into here we're considering dumping ISA
as our firewall in favour of a Cisco PIX.  We will however be keeping an
ISA server as a web cache.  My question is, as a web cache can I still
use the filtering rules to control access to certain websites (could I
still load websense onto the server and have it filter)
 
TIA
