Leave content filtering to the ES, and *force* ES to filter the content.
Its not content filtering, I'm not filtering only certain html traffic 
(like access to porn sites), I'm filtering traffic that is causing harm to 
my network and if I know what traffic is causing problems for me, I'll 
filter it first chance I get.

It is content filtering. You are filtering packets that you think are
causing problems to the ES that you may not control.

Alex, please re-read the first paragraph.  He said
"I'm filtering traffic that is causing harm to *my* network..."
(emphasis mine).

He's not filtering out packets he thinks are causing problems
to the ES, he's filtering out packets that are causing him
problems directly, as the IS.
