thank you for the reply .. i went through the links and it seems like i can get this to work via webprofile..if i understand this correctly i should create a new webprofile and add the URLs i want to access.. add them to the policy but the destination in that case should be kept as "any" ?

also..i was wondering if FQDN addresses in destination field will work for my use case

I have the same thought around adding the FQDN addresses as destinations instead of any. In the web filter policies, all categories are blocked and only those specific URLs defined in the static URL filter are set to allowed, or exempt or monitor. Any thoughts?
