We are using http://malwaredomains.com/.  We redirect them to a simple page saying that, well, we redirected them.  The 
page contains this:

The link you just clicked on is associated with a known infected/malicious web page.
We have redirected you to this web page for your safety.

Along with some contact info.  There has been one issue with Wired magazine, apparently they host some stuff with a 
somewhat suspicious site.  We went ahead and exempted them, other than that we have had no complaints.

Subject: [SECURITY] Blackhole DNS.

How many people have adopted Blackhole DNS as a solution to help curb
Malware. Any success stories?

If you have, did you encounter resistance? Perhaps from people claiming
that this is a form of content filtering and in some way violating the
freedoms and right of students/faculty/staff?

Is this a form of content filtering?

Thanks.
