Hello, Well a few short lines of code would do that with no problem.

Well, yes, obviously the way to resolve hostnames to IP addresses is by DNS lookups :-) What I meant was, how does your script cope when you want to block something like, say, www.microsoft.com, and the DNS lookup returns 6 different IP addresses, from two different class C ranges (which is what I just got by doing a dig on the name) ? > Note some cases the /netmask is somewhat overkill.

If a company has enough load that they're running multiple servers, they're probably doing it on multiple feeds as well, which will have widely differing IP addresses.....
