To control Web traffic (HTTP/HTTPS) you need a Web proxy like a BlueCoat/Websense. To control SSH traffic you need a SSH proxy like a McAfee Sidewinder. To control DNS traffic you need a DNS proxy like a InfoBlox/BlueCat. To control SMTP traffic you need a Mail Proxy like a ProofPoint/IronMail. To control IM traffic you need a IM proxy like a Barracuda IM FW. and the list goes on and on...... or you can buy a Palo Alto....tada.
