Yes, I too graduated from a high school that, along with several others, tunneled all of its student/teacher (administrators had their own subnet that was unblocked) HTTP requests through Bess. It almost made it pointless to have all of that grant-funded bandwidth (we were a pilot site for some sort of custom ATM-based videoconferencing that was grossly underutilized) be choked by Bess and have the lower-bandwidth administrative subnet (10Mbps cable bandwidth provided by Time Warner) run free like the wind.
Of course, this is also the same school district that recently set up two student labs with unswitched 10BT networking and no remote-access/remote-administration software.
And the printers had unrestricted TCP/IP-based printing, too.
