How are you blocking eDonkey and BitTorrent traffic? Are you blocking the default ports or actually inspecting the packets?

 

 

It would be relatively simple to block specific ports using packet filters (without a rule), but clients could still change the default port(s) the programs use.

 

 

Also, how is the traffic currently passing through the BIG-IP: a wildcard VIP, standard VIP or SNAT?
