Doable IFF you have admin type access to said routers. And if you swap out the router, all those "filters" vanish. And if you screw up an entry, you can interrupt service for all those 'puters. And if you move the computer to a different location, it is no longer protected by such filters. How do you handle filtering on a domain to which access might be needed by someone else on your network? Ditto for issues of editing the hosts file. Requires admin access, no syntax errors, 100% cooperative users, etc. Sorry, I'm not a fan of this type of filtering. Domain blocking should be done in the browser, where it can easily be undone / corrected by normal users, not at a higher level where it becomes an admin hassle. Now, if you're running a large business and your job is to filter your users up the wazoo... then you deserve to have the hassle. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
