Not an exact science but I believe you could either be very successful at blocking a company's access. (i.e. all requests from from same subnet / point of presence)....or very unsuccessful in that the company's internet access may not be tied to their internet domain(s). (their hosting may be outsourced)
In either case maybe u could: 1) Check originating IP/submit and re-route to bogus page. 2) Drop cookie flagging the user in the event they also access from home via portable machine, then block if this cookie exists. 3) Perform some logging on ur server-side to see if you're actually accomplishing anything. ;) Cheers, Stace -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 12:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Block Competitors from Web site Hello, Any have any other creative ideas on how to block competitors from gaining access to a Web site. My idea, which isn't fool proof is to try and find out what their network IP address is and write code in your site wide header to redirect or block traffic from a IP sub set, as long you know they company owns the IP sub set. I know the user could just log in fromo their home connection to open a TS session outside of their company. I want to make sure they are blocked from the company. Any other ideas? Thanks.
