The appliance does indeed have ICAP capabilities, but I have never dabbled with it before. I am familiar with IPFW, but I'd like to know all options in order to choose the best one. I would very much prefer to do this in a way without having to have Squid running on the box, but will if I have to. >> The filter will not be inline, and it will be an opt-in type service, so >> only certain traffic will need to be redirected. > > You'll be able to use ipfw or pf to tune the policies to a very > fine degree.
