setting up 2 differnt filters in my school

My school uses microsoft server.  We have a wireless faculty network that is safe and secure. The students are on a differnt network.  Each teacher has a unique user name and password.  Using the X506, how can we have a restrictive web filter for students and a much less restrictive web filter for faculty.



I am a high school media specialist and the golf coach.  With the moderators permission, I will be happy to send a dozen titleist golf balls to someone who can help me make this work.



thank-you

Re: setting up 2 differnt filters in my school

Hi there...not sure if you are still in need of an answer for this, but here goes.



I assume that you have separate security zones for Students and Staff and that you have created separate Web Filtering Profiles in Firewall > Web Filtering



All you need to do to apply these filters to the separate groups is enable them in the firewall rule that controls internet access for that group



For instance, you have a rule called "Students Internet Access" and this allows any host in the Student Zone to use web services to any destination.



Within the rule, on the right hand side of the top section (Firewall Rule Setup (Basic)) there is an option "Enable Web Filter". Tick this to enable, and then select the custom filter from the drop down menu.



And that should do it!
