Re: By passing surf control

[Dave Powell <davep+ () pitt edu>]

Hi!  I recall reading an old 2600 article where they showed how to 
convert a regular IP address to some other formats, as most browsers 
will accept a number of different address encodings.

for 2 or 3 ways to do this check out

http://honor.trusecure.com/pipermail/firewall-wizards/2001-March/010504.html
says that the 2600 issue is  Vol 17, #3, Fall 2000 (www.2600.com), p43 
(I don't have it here in front of me to check :)

BTW: List, do you think an iptables filter on the proxy/webfilter set to 
deny all traffic from offending sites would work? 

hope this helps!
