When using websense "Yes" lists we are having problems with websites that don't have www as part of there address. The yes list works with addresses with www or IP addresses of web sites.
e.g. http://server.internet.com doesn't work.

http://www.internet.com or http://192.192.192.192 will work

Any ideas or a way round this?

A quick fix, without knowing Websense, would be to stick a proxy in front which answers to server.domain.tld but simply passes requests through to your www.websense.box behind.

If you were contracting - you could have charged Shunty £50 for that
