Re: [fw-wiz] IPv6 support in firewalls

Not really an "approved" business use, but I learned the hard way that
Yahoo Fantasy Sports (yeah, yeah...tell me about it later...) requires
the use of JS.

:(

I was using a prolific hosts file to block a whole lot of ad content
from operators and ended up having to remote the pair of
js1/js2.yahoo.com resolutions to get their newest version to work.

Sad but true...JS has now invaded fantasy football!

Sure this applies to "receiving documents from outside" case only,
not for internal document flow. BTW, back to the firewalls: are there
any reasonable "whitelists" of sites that use JS, really do need it to
work properly and known to behave well? Looks like every organization
deploying scripting languages control on the firewall creates one
from the scratch, which may be quite long process. I guess there
should be some "annotated template"?

Yes. Most people need Google Documents and Ajax. Actually using

That depends heavily on your trust model, document propagation risk

how valuable the documents themselves are. I'd like to see your
strategy
for document protection and recovery from Google Docs for a
just-laid-off
employee. I'd like to see you stop them from "sharing" a copy of the
document with themselves at home... While it's not easy to do, you
*can*
build an environment where a local office package keeps the documents
in a
reasonably controlled environment where employees can't e-mail them
directly, dump them to removable media, etc.

Put the documents on a Web site accessible from anywhere on the planet

with reusable credentials and you pretty-much kill the idea of
document
control at all, let alone keeping the honest people honest or a
credential
exposure from providing the whole farm instead of just a pig.
