Here is the message I got from websense.  It appears their database loves to
lump all sites from a particular numerical IP together.  It doesn't matter
that my site has its own domain.

Bill Drew, 
The site you submitted was not in our database and is a virtually hosted
site. It was sharing an IP address with another site in our database causing
an accidental overblock.
The site has been added under Information Technology and will be fixed in
the next database published. 
Thanks, 


The Websense Database Operations Staff

You have wrongly classified my site as a sex site. It is my site for my
