Hey Tom, Any chance you work for Yahoo? ------Original Message------ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 25, 2000 8:56:25 PM GMT Subject: Blocking access from geographic location on the Internet Hi Everyone, I have a need to block access to an application by geographic location on the Internet...This would not likely be attempted through access lists, but probably through firewalling technology such as Firewall-1 1) Can the domain name extension of an address be an accurate indicator? For example if I wan't to block access to all locations trying to connect from Japan, is it fair to block anyone trying to connect from a site that resolves to xxxxx.jp? 2) Would all the IP networks that a particular Core Nodal gateway services be capable of being summarized? 3) Does anyone know how Microsft restricted access to 128 bit encrypted service packs to non-US customers? I know that there would be very little of a way to prevent someone from dialing into an ISP in the US from gaining access, or by means of some other type of "proxy", but I am just looking for a more generalized answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
