Figure 23 Content Filtering Lookup Procedure
1 A computer behind the ZyWALL tries to access a web site.
2 The ZyWALL looks up the web site in its cache. If an attempt to access the web site was
made in the past, a record of that web site’s category will be in the ZyWALL’s cache.
The ZyWALL blocks, blocks and logs or just logs the request based on your
configuration.
3 Use the Anti-X > Content Filter Cache screen to configure how long a web site address
remains in the cache as well as view those web site addresses. All of the web site address
records are also cleared from the local cache when the ZyWALL restarts.
4 If the ZyWALL has no record of the web site, it queries the external content filtering
database and simultaneously sends the request to the web server.
5 The external content filtering server sends the category information back to the
ZyWALL, which then blocks and/or logs access to the web site based on the settings in
the content filtering profile. The web site’s address and category are then stored in the
ZyWALL’s content filtering cache.
21.4 Content Filtering Reports
See the web configurator User’s Guide to see how to view content filtering reports after you
