No OD here, so I'm just trying to get some discussion going on the
best way to do this. MCX controls? I've not looked yet to see if
there is anything specific on the .Mac or MobileMe controls... just
trying to figure out the best angle to take.
Do your users have admin control to their machines? If so, you may
want to look at a network-centric solution (i.e., blocking certain
ports on routers/firewalls). And even if you can find a host-based
solution (i.e., using MobileMe's System Preference pane or configuring
the firewall), adding monitoring rules to your router/firewall might
be a good idea to ensure compliance. (Note: the "Back to My Mac" tab
in the MobileMe System Preference says it doesn't work through my NAT
router.)
I haven't sat down to watch the packet flows yet (I've barely used
Mobile Me), but if everything (or at least too much) runs through
port 80 or 443, you might need to use a web proxy and block based on
URL (as opposed to just address/port combos).
Since Mobile Me is so new, you might want to follow up with another
post in 2-3 weeks once more people have had a more detailed look at it.
