It is interesting to see them try to innovate the old DNS concept. In addition to blocking they also provide statistics about internet usage by tabulating requests by IP address. While I'm impressed, I wonder what use such data could be put to. Can anyone here suggest how such information could be put to practical use? As for the blocking, SaaS is a much better way to provide this. Everything is centrally managed. There is no need to install or maintain any software on the client computer. It is also harder to bypass if you can lock down the DNS address. Of course, a proxy server still steps around this easily. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
