We tried a basic setup where every user get a dummy-filter automaticly.=20
It forbids RFC1918 adresses and some ports.=20
But after activation the load on the SUNstation increases _a lot_
On a closer look it seems that the portmaster are not caching very
efficiently.=20
In fact they dont cache at all at the current setup.=20
