Vitaly,
first of all, it's really nostalgic to see "*.arj" in your policy map :)
Secondly, it actually does not matter much which direction you apply the
policy. NBAR classifies all the flow packets, be it ingress or egress part
of the flow. However, this policy better be applied in outbound direction,
for this way it will block GET requests before they even reach the WWW
server. You can read more about NBAR URL matching here:
