Managing the WebBlocker Server
The WebBlocker server is installed as a Windows Service
and can be started or stopped from the Services application
located in the Windows Control Panel Program Group.
Installing Multiple WebBlocker Servers
You can install two or more WebBlocker servers in a
failover configuration. If the primary WebBlocker server
fails, the Firebox automatically fails over to the first server
in the
WebBlocker Servers
box, as shown in “Activating
WebBlocker” on page 256.
To add additional WebBlocker servers:
1
On the
WebBlocker Controls
tab in the
HTTP Proxy
dialog box, click
Add
.
2
In the dialog box that appears, type the IP address of
the server in the
Value
field. Click
OK
.
You can use the Up and Down buttons to change the posi-
tion of the servers in the list.
When operating two or more WebBlocker servers in a
failover mode, the time between failovers may take up to
two minutes.
Automating WebBlocker Database Downloads
The most effective way to routinely download and update
your WebBlocker database is to use Windows Task Sched-
uler. To do this, add a process called WebDBdownload.bat,
