internet filter and access control

[Dennis Malen]

Richard,

The range of IP addresses will not work. We want to allow access to specific 
sites. This will be very restrictive to perhaps only three sites for some 
employees.

A firewall will not do the trick, unless there is a firewall that is 
sophisticated enough to do it which so far I have not been able to find.

I have only found software and separate hardware that is not a firewall.
