You should be careful about trying to do this, because Squid cannot tell where one word ends and another begins in a url. For example, do you want to block: www.essex.ac.uk www.thisisessex.co.uk www.essexcc.gov.uk www.basex.com Similar examples will almost certainly exist (in some language) for any other 'non-business' words you care to select. Keyword filtering without knowing where words start and end can have undesirable consequences. Regards, Antony. -- Wanted: telepath. You know where to apply.
