Last year, there is a requirement to change the checkpoints firewalls and application switches because they are obsolete product and out of support. SO, clients in any vLAN can be load balanced traffic to different ISP, specifc vLAN can be redirected to specific ISP, incoming traffic loadbalanced and redirection done through public DNS or both ISPs IPs and redirection for any specific service being redirected by the NFS Application Switches. DMZs configured to serve internet browsing of clients and DMZ for services only. Internal vLANs configured on Nortel Passports in HA Mode as well.

The current network infrastructure consist of Nortel Routers in HA Mode -> Nortel Application Switches - NFS HA Mode -> CheckPoint HA Mode. The last option I have is the cloud option based on the complexity of network loadbalancing or ISP, and Internal vLANs I have. Well, it's a bit of misunderstanding of our requirement and what is currently deployed upon purchasing the WebSense product. Hank you for your reply, I highly appreciated. If you have any specific questions I'll try to go into more detail. Websense support was not able to fix that one before I left the company. This increased the support calls because it was another login that users would have to remember, and the 'forgot password' link on the login page would not function. The bonus of having the hosted solution was that it would protect company laptops even when users were travelling or at home, but they would have to login to the proxy before being able to browse the Internet. The hosted solution worked well for the most part, with only a few outages noticed over the 4 years we used the solution. It wasn't worth the expense to put a proxy in every location and we didn't have a controlled central point where they would get Internet access. The reason we needed to go with the hosted solution in the first place was we had 30+ locations where there may have been anywhere from 2-10 computers.

At that time they had released a beta client that would be installed on the PC to make sure that all traffic flowed through the proxy regardless of the browser configuration. When we started to see people installing other browsers and circumventing the proxy, we looked for a different way to force them through Websense. It worked well in most instances because we weren't blocking anything except advertising so it didn't give people a reason to try to get around it.

We used it for multiple years and the primary goal was to cut down on malware infections for offshore platform contractors. I have had experience with the Websense Cloud Solution.
