Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V4 #35

Suggestion: Put up a proxy server (such as NT Server's Proxy Server).
The proxy server not only helps you as a firewall (but you should still
get a real firewall) but it will log all the addresses people go to into
a CSV file (Comma Separated Variable).  CSV files can be imported into a
ton of programs, such as Excel spreadsheets, Access Databases, etc...

Or you could even upload it to the AS/400.  Ones it's in a database type
form (Excel spreadsheet could be considered as such) you can sort/query
whatever you want with it.

Of course, there are programs that will actually do all this for you.
But this gives you the added security of a proxy server.

Hello all,

I realize that this is not a midrange question, but I value your opinions. 
We are putting up a company wide T1 for internet access and are looking for 
a monitoring package that will allow us to see who is going where over the 
Internet. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
