Additionally, I also allow access to our university's pages, and this works,
including https pages. 

The windowsupdate site I can connect to, but when it begins to scan the
computer for required updates, it fails.

Weird. Does windowsupdate use other services other than https, when scanning
the computer? If so, I'd have to allow this thorugh the firewall I guess?

Thanks


Matt

This works for us:

acl WindowsUpdate       dstdomain       .windowsupdate.com
acl WindowsUpdate       dstdomain       .microsoft.com

Then use that acl to bypass the redirector.
