drowning in http inspect NON RFC character alerts

I'm getting 10-20,000 alerts/day on a small (<500 hosts) network. I tried adding no_alerts to my config as follows: preprocessor http_inspect: global \ iis_unicode_map unicode.map 1252 preprocessor http_inspect_server: server default \ profile all \ ports { 80 8080 } \ no_alerts That didn't work. I also tried non_rfc_char { } in the hopes it wouldn't check for anything, but it bombs on start. I was able to use no_alerts on a unique server config with an IP address and that did work for that one server (a McAfee ePO server--it uses http to update virus clients and appears to do a lot of non-standard stuff.) Unfortunately, most of the hits I have left are students in labs going common sites like AOL.
