I have set up a URI to block mp3 files, but I have noticed that a few of our
users could not hit certain websites or even retrieve pdf files for example
off of others. By the way, these sites had nothing to do with Mp3 files.
Once I disabled my rule, the other problems I had stopped. I have been able
to block FTP traffic successfully with a URI rule, but the http seems a bit
buggy.

Has anyone else experience problems similar to this?

In fact it is quite easy to block MP3, Realaudio et al. : You define a URI
object matching the file extension and no matter which port is used, nobody
can download the file and in the FW log a "content security" entry will be
made. 

Works like a charm and if anybody is interested, I will mail the details.

Cheers
