It seems this discussion is addressing a variety of scenarios without a complete fix. Overall it seems there are 4 scenarios: On campus to on campus Off campus to on campus On campus to off campus And off to off On to on: Block all off campus access to the system. Off to on: DNS poisoning will not do anything, but blocking the sender (Marketscore) from accessing the server on campus will. This is difficult for the reasons others have contributed earlier. A bigger solution could also include mutual authentication so the server would check client certificates also. On to off: it sounds like blocking the destination port could be the fix. I believe someone in this discussion said that it redirects to a proxy working on port 8000. And in this case the DNS poisoning could/would be part of a solution. Off to off: we are not part of the equation so user education is the only option. _________________________ Thank you, Gregory R.
