nuqneH,

1) No, but you can block web-based protocols using http proxy settings.
2) Somehow. It is resource consuming being compared with generic ip
filtering but - your tcp stack does basically the same thing. So it is
should not be more resource consuming than proxy-based firewalls.

I think Darren Reed is on the list too and he can tell more about hist
