Hello list, I saw this in a posting in an Amiga mailing list that I'm still subscribed to:
>The first place Genesis looks for anything is in db/hosts, and > if the ad-servers are listed there it will attempt to get the > banners from the address given there. Since there are none, > the banner command will simply fail. and wondered if there was some way I could do something similar in Debian? What happens with this particular package is that there's a local file linking IP addreses to urls, that is checked before looking for it on the net, rather like a local DNS. By linking ad/banner server urls to, say the local IP 127.0.0.1, the look-up fails and is abandoned with the result that you don't download anything from these servers i.e adverts etc :-) TIA LeeE
