We're looking at a Cisco ASA 5520 here. Not sure if its going to work
or not yet.

What Cisco device, if I may ask? Why are you moving away from
ISA?

ISA, but ISA will soon be going away in favor of Cisco
equipment.

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.....

Just out of curiosity, why didn't it work?
Because of the port mirroring?
We're about to decommish our SurfControl and
install Websense.

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.
