The ISA 2000 "Destination set" has been expanded to allow you more
granular control via "URL sets" and "Domain Sets".
Which you choose to use is your choice, but there are some concepts to
bear in mind:
- both URL Sets & Domain Sets apply *only* to traffic handled by the web
proxy
- URL sets can be applied to *only* HTTP (*not* HTTPS) or FTP traffic
- Domain sets can be applied to HTTP, FTP, or HTTPS traffic

"Add Site" allows you to choose which technique applies best to your
scenario.

BTW, you never stated - have you contacted PSS about the 915045 patch?
I know for a fact that it fixes one iTunes problem that was reported.
Based on the "half the Internet" description you provided, it's a bit
difficult to determine if you're seeing the same problem.

I love the way that on this list that a simple request for clarification
instantly digresses to the "Open Port" joke.  As you can tell, I am not
really in the mood.  It has been the ISA week from hell, and the one
group I supposedly can turn to for help has been busy answering my
emails for assistance with the same Open Port joke we have all heard
over and over again.
 
I never said anything about Open Port or Add Site.  That is the verbiage
from MS's own support site.  
 
For this particular setting, there is no way to add the DNS or "site"
for these connections, only the IP addresses that the site resolves to
at that moment in time.  If the IP addresses change,  which would be the
case for something like iTunes, which uses outside companies to
distribute files, then the compression rules for that "site" will break
again.  This does not seem like a proper solution.  A better or more
intuitive alternative would maybe have been the allowance of a
destination set, instead of having to use a computer or network set.

Hi John,
 
Indeed  - eGore has been a real pain re: the AddSite[Patent
Pending]Button. He tried to take the OpenPort[TM] from me too, but I
beat him too it.
 
The problem I'm having now is that no one wants to lic the OpenPort[TM]
button because everyone thinks that all firewalls and network devices
have one -- why would level one to level X network primates tell you to
"Open a Port [sic]"
 
Happy spring.

        The "Add site" button has been temporarily disabled and hidden
pending a patent check. I have learned that Al Gore is claiming he holds
the patent on it even though the US Government patent office clearly
shows the request came from the Good Doctor.

         

        In other news, the "Open Port" button is now fully certified and
patented for use.

        Umm .. define "Add site".  There is no option to add a site,
only a network or computer.  The solution is to add a new network object
with the entire class C for that DNS name, or add each IP that it
resolves to?
