Query on content filtering

[Don Murdoch <dmurdoch () ODU EDU>]

Greetings.  I am interested to know if other Universities are using content
filters – products like Web Sense, Blue Coat, Cisco Content Engine, and the
like. We have a forthcoming state policy (in draft, subject to change, who
knows where it will end up) which may require some sort of web / traffic
content filter to be in place.

I searched the list archive came across a few using Tipping Point, and Ron
Parkers mention of trying different products and finally settling on Web
Sense + Check Point.

Also – I am not interested in bandwidth mgmt per se – rather, something
that can actually monitor / report / mitigate / clean HTTP, IRC, P2P, …
traffic at the data payload level, not the bandwidth level.

Thank you in advance for your time.
