RE: Blocking Access to Non-domain computers

["Steven A. Fletcher" <sfletcher () integrityts com>]

Certainly!  There are a number of products that will do such a thing.
Microsoft has had such things for a while now, even going back to the NT
4 days.  On NT, they had MS Proxy which has now become Microsoft
Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server.  There are other
products, too, but that is one example.

:That is the only option I can think of.  If you think about it, how

I am a newbie so go easy on me.  But should it not be possible to setup
some type of proxy server that relies on domain authentication to allow
access to the internet?
