Thanks for the reply.

That's exactly what I told the requester. I could disable the GAL look ups temporarily, but could not guarantee it would stay that way. I scoured the IT policies, but could not find anything to disable that function.

As I told the requester, "RIM has work very hard to make this work well, and now you want me to figure out how to break it?"

Thanks again for your input, I'm going to call this a "Not Possible," and move on to more productive tasks.
