We're considering implementing a content filtering solution with our
BorderManager proxy server. What products are available for
BorderManager 3.9, and what do you recommend we use?

Right now, your only real choice is LinkWall from Connectotel. But
it's a good choice.

It's a pretty good solution.

If you tell the server to use OpenDNS, then you lose the granularity of
control via access rules.

It's a nice option, but it's really only suitable for those who don't
know much about computers. In a school environment, kids with too much
time on their hands realize they can nslookup the host's address from
some other DNS server (perhaps at home), and then use the IP address
instead of the name to bypass a DNS lookup.
