Indeed this has come up regularly. I remain skeptical that placing the
burden for enforcing policy such as this lies with the firewall and the
firewall administrators.

OK, so you block Napster and AOL. Now then, what about E-trade? Yahoo?
Merrill Lynch, Dilbert.com? not to mention the various picture sites that so
many disapprove of. How about all the radio stations people are listening to
over the net?

Now, what happens when some person or business unit has a good business
reason for accessing AOL or other sights that you are blocking on your
firewall?

I'm talking to the wind, I suppose, but my first question when this topic
comes up,  is "what is the written policy regarding internet access?" the
second question is "will management pay for what it requires to accomplish
this policy?"

But relying on port blocking, or address blocking, or domain name blocking,
on a case by case basis seems a bit shortsighted.

This has actually come up again in the discussion. If u want to block AIM
outgoing from ur network, u should try to block the IP Addresses of the
login server of AIM which is "login.oscar.aol.com" The AIM App is designed
to scan for ports other than 5190 to login to the server, so port blocking
will not work always.

Just a note, that people can shoose other ports to get to the AIM services.
