DG may not be a good long term solution, but the pilots need it asap and it still isn't part of the default install. Greg is right that the XS is already a production project but it lacks one of the key features that all the pilots need -- basic content filtering. The deployments that need it most are those w/ the least technical skills and least likely to complain on this mailing list. > So it's a task better pushed to a proxy/filter "upstream" at the ISP > network -- for any large deployment, we should start advising the > local team to arrange with the ISP(s?) involved the co-location of 1 > server.

I expect many, many other countries will do the same. I will trust the regional ISP's to provide bandwidth, but not content filtering as well. -- Bryan W.
