This looks quite good, but can you add in exceptions to blocked sites? Eg. With our current SurfControl based system they occasionally get it wrong and block a site when it shouldn't have been. You can submit a request to get it unblocked, but this takes 2-3 days for them to review it, if indeed they get around to reviewing it at all. We can however manually add in exceptions to please the users. How does opendns.com handle this?

Clients love it. We charge time to go through and set it all up for them, but then show them how to manage the lists etc.. Just point your Windows DNS Forwarders to look at their IP's and for real security block DNS outbound to everything but their IP's.

You might advise him that the cost of keeping the list of blocked sites current will quickly exceed the cost of a subscription. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ === STEMCOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCLAIMER NOTICE This e-mail is intended only for the addressees named in it.
