Websense counts the number of new or unique IP addresses it sees on a daily basis. A table of these IP addresses is built in memory. This table is cleared automatically when asuccessful Master URL database download occurs. The default setting is to download the Master URL database nightly.
On a network with DHCP, it may be possible to exceed the subscription countintermittently throughout the day. This is possible by assigning computers new IP addresses. If this happens, and you have configured Websense to send email alerts, then you will receive an email with thesubject Websense Email Notification. Additionally, all new IPs seen by Websense, after exceeding the subscription level, will (depending on your current configuration settings within Websense Manager) be...
