Have you seen any performance hits on your traffic with this installed?
We're looking at using it, and I have a concern about placing another hub
between inside and outside. Also, is there any configuration that the user
needs to do?

What happens is that WebShield sits between your firewall (or exterior
router) and your internal network. It has two network cards, but instead of
routing it acts as a bridge. It does seem to be essentially invisible.

However: We've run into some issues regarding it's use with FTP, and we're
trying to find someone at McAfee who can give us some answers. Test it
thoroughly and decide if you want to use it.

And yes, there are all kinds of email attachments that it can't decode to
detect virii. Our client wants us to implement it anyway, and hopefully
they understand that this will _assist_ in preventing virus infections, not
provide 100% protection.
