I have not started using it yet, but I have been convinced that using it
is a good idea. It offers a lot of flexibility. I know it certainly
offers this capability. It can also block SQL injection attempts, buffer
over-run attempts, and a number of other potential problem scenarios.

The documentation is supposed to be pretty good, and the community
support is supposed to be good, too. (I've met the follow at Breach that
deals with the community.)

Cheers,
