Is anyone using a "blacklist" in DNS to limit access to spyware or adware sites by returning 127.0.0.1 for these, somewhat like what spybot Search & Destroy uses in the hosts file on a PC? For example, using a list such as at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt Thanks, Richard -- Richard L Gambrell, Director of Computing Systems and Networks Information Technology Division, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga 103 Hunter Dept 4454, 615 McCallie Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37403-2598 Fax: 423-425-4150 Problems: Help-Desk () utc edu or 423-425-4000 Direct phone: 423-425-5316 IT Business Office: 423-425-1755 Urgent/cell: 423-432-5122 Main UTC phone: 423-425-4111 Email: richard-gambrell () utc edu or rgambrel () acm org ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
