We are thinking of implementing an intranet site for all staff, but some users need access to some internet sites. Since these sites are government agencies, etc. we would be ok with our staff going to any links that they trust. Is it possible to imple
ment a piggy-back method of trusting the site, or will be have to configure our server to open-up to each site linked to a site we trust? Our goal is to allow acccess to as many sites as is required without having to monitor our staff as far as which sit
es are being visited.

This is not an IIS issue. Are you talking about a proxy server and/or
firewall?

Ypou don't do that through IIS or an intranet, what you're looking for
is a proxy server. Microsoft's product for this is ISA.
