Subject: Pointcast - how to block....

I am well versed on the security problems facing Pointcast implementation
(this list has been generous in discussing the issues of this technology).

Now I have a site where we want to explicitly block **all** Pointcast
traffic.  (Its due to bandwidth problems, not security at the moment).

Any pointers since there is little on the protocol that I have had
in all my boundless free time to pick up....

I'd like to hear some general ideas on how to secure it, and then also if
you can address that I have at my disposal Netscape Proxy, FW-1, and fwtk
(1.3) for this particular scenario.

TIA
