    There are lots and lots of such product. I myself haven't tested any
    appliance for this kind of solution, but I do have some experiences with
    some software that you might be interested in.

    1. Websense
    Originally only provides a software-based solution, however, there are some
    appliance that use websense as their web filtering engines, for example
    BuleCoat ProxySG.

    2. Smart Filter from Secure Computing
    It's one of the bests in this field (Wensense is also one of them...). As my
    memory serves me right, I did hear that there are also some appliance that
    use Smart Filter as their web filtering engines. Sorry that I can't remember
    the names of those appliances.

    My recommendation is that you should check them out to see what's best for
    you.

    Hope this could help.

    Subject: Web Content Scanning

    I've been tasked with coming up with a list of products to test that will
    content scan web traffic for around 6k users.

    Currently we use clearswift Mimesweeper for web, has anyone got any
    experience of other software or appliances that would do the same job or
    better ?
