Hi,<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
To guarantee their staff/chirldren are not affected by 'dirty' content, some of our customers want to filter web content.&nbsp; To avoid the cost of software maintenance, they want us to provide content filtering service based on subscription. Also, customers want to be abel to administrate filtering rules by themselves.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
At current stage, we planned to set up content filtering by following<BR>
criterion:<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
1. By white list,&nbsp; web site not listed in a white list will be blocked 2. By black list, web site listed in a black list will be blocked 3. By time period, in a predefined time period ( as. 8:00 am -- 5:00 pm ) some of web sites are not accessible<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
I have no experience with service like this, and I don't know how to set up such service while mainteining the scability & network performance. Is there anybody would do me a favor to tell me which company provides such products? and what's the working mechanism behind?<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Each word will be high appreciated.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
Regards<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
