Well, more and more programs are being used that require Internet access,
for instance at my customer site he has three locations, at all three they
do data entry to a sql database at home office with a package that is really
just a collection of asp pages on a web site on a server at the home office.
The company that sold them the package told them it was a great thing
because they could access just one copy of the program from anywhere in any
of their locations, including working from home! No concerns at all about
security would you believe!
Anyways, I think that giving Internet access is often a real requirement. I
know that at this site it is. They are a car dealership and the manufacturer
requires them to use a web site for some things with respect to sales.
Thanks Phillip
Bob

Good idea but unfortunately not so easy in reality.
Unfortuneately it *is* the reality.
IMO - It is often a mistake to even give employees internet access to
start with. Many jobs don't *really* require it. There is a difference
between wanting it and needing it. Employees that use SMTP EMail with an
outside mail server can have the email without having web access,...you
just give them permssion to use SMTP and POP3, but not HTTP & HTTPS.
Computers are not babysitters. If a company's management cannot control
the behavior of their own employees, a computer sure isn't going to do
it,...and in such cases the company will usually "fold".
There is no such product that is going to do exactly what you are asking.
Some can come close,..but be prepared to spend some $$$$.
A product like MS ISA Server will come close.
MS ISA Server combined with filtering products like SurfControl will come
even closer,...but products like SurfControl interferre with some of the
ISA's functionality. It is an imperfect world.
