Hi Rajiv, Yes, but squid doesn't have user/group based access control, which is far more important than MAC address. Remember, MAC addresses are only available on the same Ethernet broadcast domain, which makes its pretty useless for most networks. Of course, with Squid, you do get what you pay for ;-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Rajiv Kulkarni [mailto:rajiv_nag@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 3:03 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] can we have mac-addresses as client address sets for acl in isa http://www.ISAserver.org Hello Friends, I wanted to know whether we could configure mac-address based client-address sets in isa.if not what prevents the configuration in isa. Also i have observed that a squid proxy has this facility (of mac-address based acl) and also that the responses from the squid proxy is very fast compared to isa..even when we have only ONE TEST USER. can anybody advice me please?? thank you PS: I will still remain as passionate as ever for MS-products...it's just that i sometimes debate with my unix collegues often wrt MS products. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
