[j-nsp] [c-nsp] Split tunneling on government networks

[Herro91]

Thanks to all for the feedback - this is very valuable!

Has anyone on the list explored Cisco's ScanSafe acquisition, now called
Cisco Cloud Web Security - as a means of providing protection in the cloud
that would potentially negate the requirement to bring all traffic back in
a full tunnel?


Thanks again!
