I've used this many times where implementing a Squid proxy just wasn't an option. We ran an internal DNS server that was authoritative for any domains we didn't want users to access. Then, we use iptables to route all DNS traffic to that DNS server. Those domains would resolve, but to a specific IP that was configured to hand out a nastygram page saying "Blocked by the filter" etc... Even when it isn't required at a particular installation, it's certainly fun to play with this at the office. :-) Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.
