Rob,

I have responded inline to respond directly to your last email:

MAC agents, I do not know what you are referring to with this.

Data-in-Motion - are you talking about data after it has physically
left your hard drive.  Ie.  e-mail, thumbdrives, network traffic,
etc...

More setup time and effort is a small price to pay when you have a
more efficient and properly configured solution deployed.  It is well
worth the time, IMO.

I will have to check into this TECSEC.  My curiosity is piqued.  Thank
you for the tip.

Very much so.  Thank you kindly for your response.  Very well written,
by the way.  :)
