AFAIK

Since you can block web msn by blocking signatures, and Cisco firewalls are not application layer devices, this is not possible with Cisco firewall alone.

no its possible. if you look at service polic you will see them. but I dont know how.

what you mean is inspections. Yes you can do inspections but dont know if it will be enough. Follwoing descries how

You can do this easily with Checkpoint

SmartDefense which is integrated into

Checkpoint firewall. It's so easy even

cavemen can do it.

thanks but as you can understand I am asking for pix configuration...

I work with both Checkpoint and Cisco Pix, and

what you're asking can not be done with Cisco

Pix. Pix lacks the plugg-in module for these

features. Checkpoint can take care of this

via SmartDefense. Perhaps this can be done

with ASA with an IPS plugg-in module.

as i think we can block web messenger with the help of url filtering server like websense or smartfilter i have tested in smartfilter block whole category of instant messenger this will work both pix and asa 7.2 version
