I want to block access to specific websites thru PIX 515 Firewall.All users r accessing the internet thru MS-proxy 2.0 server.I want to block it at the firewall level though I can do it at the proxy level.

Cud anybody help.

1. Throw out the MS proxy server as it is junk (if you have a caching need look at a cache engine. However your network might be faster without the proxy server & no cache since the proxy server is so slow)

2. Look at the Cisco Parter product from Websense, a URL blocker. The config of it is in the PIX docs.

I am using websense and have entered all suggested remarks in the pix. Our two websites www.vw.com and www.audi.com reside on our DMZ and from the inside they surf slowly. From the outside they surf excellent. Also any other site from inside surfs well. Just these two sites are slow and I am lost as to why. Share a little light on this one if possible?
