There are two acceptable implementations for this requirement. 1. The device uses a mobile VPN to route all data traffic to the DoD enclave, which forces all browser traffic to the DoD Internet gateway. 2. The device browser is installed inside an iOS security container and the security container provides the capability to route all browser traffic to the MDM server where it will be routed to the DoD Internet gateway. Using a browser without a mobile VPN and installed outside the iOS device security container is not an approved implementation. Verify one of the approved browser implementations is used. Talk to the user and review 3-4 sample devices. Mark as a finding if a required browser is not used.
