[JDEV] VB jabber client > Firewall

[Paul T. Clegg]

Firewall. This is going to be your best solution,
especially if a regulatory body is involved. It
ensures that you won't have rogue clients connecting
to the internet.

Then you can use your choice of windows clients (plus
a little windows scripting, registry altering or
custom install packaging to deploy) and be set to
connect to your local intranet jabber server.

Actually, I'd be surprised if your current firewall
ruleset didn't prevent outgoing 5222-5223 connections
already.
