Using ISA 2006 and Websense v7.1, I'm getting intermittent block pages when 
hitting blocked sites.

What is "supposed" to happen is that when a blocked page is found, the 
connection is redirected to another server (on intranet) that will display the 
block message.  This works intermittently.  What happens usually is that the 
user gets a 502 page from the ISA server saying it has denied the request.  If 
you refresh the page, it will (usually) redirect properly and show the actual 
Websense block page explaining why it was blocked.

Websense support site lists this as the recommended response (but not for v7):

Is there a better way than allowing unauthenticated HTTP access to localhost?
