Groove in a protected corporate environment

[Brett Monten]

To protect our corporate network, we have strict controls and policies
preventing us from accessing non work-related aspects of the internet such as
IM and P2P. Our network administrators are concerned that Groove will expose
our network due to it's inherent nature. Is there a way to configure Groove
so that it is only accessible within the corporate network? That would
include having visibility of Groove users outside the network.
If the answer is dependent on release, we are running 2.5 at the moment, but
I'm sure the answer will be valuable for users on other releases too, as well
as us if/when we upgrade.

Thanks,


Brett

Judging by your network deployment & policies - I suggest a look at the
Groove Server:
