Sherry,
Are you running on top of ISA, or do you have it installed on a
standalone box and all users go out another way?

Port mirroring, multiple nics and huge resource requirements.
Like I said, we tried virtualization and it didn't work well, called
their tech support and found out that it's not recommended for running
in a virtual mode.
Paul, words of wisdom for implementing: make sure you have
clearly defined (by management) rules to setup prior to implementing
(just saves you some headaches, we have changed our configuration
multiple times, and actually rebuilt Websense a couple of times because
of mgmt changing their minds.). Websense technical support is your
friend, they are very helpful and in our experience response time has
been excellent, (I think it's always been we got help on that call with
little waiting. Have setup several webex sessions and have had really
good results with them.) I'm not saying that the product is hard to
use, or configure, we've just had mgmt changing their minds so many
times that we couldn't undo what we had done to do what was requested
without a complete rebuild or help from technical support. (It's a long
story, we've had it in place almost a year now, and it's still not
really in production and is in fact undergoing another
rebuild.....sigh). Oh and by rebuild, I don't mean a complete rebuild
from the OS up, just a rebuild/clean install of the application.....

Nope, Websense requires physical hardware, and
yes, we tried to deploy it in VMWare and it no workee.

Has anyone tried this, or is running
Websense virtualized? Looking at finally getting our feet wet with
server virtualization, using ESXi, and trying to find out if it is
possible/supported to run Websense in a virtual environment.
