Hmm,
for blocking of IM's take a look at
Best
idea would be IMHO to block the login server e.g. login.oscar.aol.com in your
firewall scripts, blocking the ports will not work.
Your
idea will work, you will just have to configure the firewall a little bit ;-)
but on the other side, if the Novell Server is running BorderManager this can be
done directly on the Novell Server.

I have 49 Windows PCs (all but 2 are
running Win2k and they are 98se), 16 Macs one Win2k DC and 1 MDK 8.1 web, ftp,
ssh server that I manage. They are on a Win2k domain and the DC does all
the DNS, the client PCs all have static IPs. They all get there gateway out
from a Novell server that I have no control of. I would like to add some
firewall protection to my portion of the network (did I mention all the IPs
are external!) and I want to be able to block the IM clients like Yahoo, AIM
by killing their ports. Could I add a linux box to be the firewall and gateway
without to much knowledge of setting this stuff up under Linux. Would it work
by pointing the Linux box to the current gateway and change the clients to
point to it for their gateway?
Thanks,
