Barracuda and WSUS Not Playing Well Together...

In a client's installation who had a previously installed Barracuda anti-spyware applince, I noticed that the WSUS server was synchronizing but wasn't able to download the updates. A quick call to Barracuda revealed that an exemption for the WSUS server should be added to the IP Block/Exempt section under the Block/Accept tab. I was instructed to add the WSUS server twice, once under 'Source IP Address' with a Source netmask of 255.255.255.255 and again under the destination IP address with the same subnet mask. I set it up and all worked well.

Now to download 39 GB worth of updates!
