RE: Application Proxy/L7 Firewall Recommendation?

["Noonan, Wesley" <Wesley_Noonan () bmc com>]

Microsoft ISA Server <gasp, he didn't really mention a non-*nix based
product, much less a Microsoft product did he> :-)

Actually, you really can use Microsoft ISA Server for this in various
configurations.

Blocking Instant Messenger and other apps - article assumes that you are
running the ISA client software:
http://www.isaserver.org/pages/article.asp?id=215 

Also, it looks like the hard core content filtering may come best via
partners running on top of ISA, for example GFI:
http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/partners/contentsecurity.asp

You can also use URLscan to do content filtering, but it is not officially
supported (MS really pushes the partners to do this function the "right"
way).

If you want more info, check out www.isaserver.org. It is a really good ISA
reference site.
