You got it, Matt, and that is why I ask how to do it with MT. My
SonicWall subscription service works great for this, but if someone
knows a way to do it in MT, that would be awesome.

That isn't content filtering as most in the industry would define it.
Anyone can drop packets based upon metrics such as destination IP.
Generally, when people ask for content filtering they are looking for
high level policies that can block certain types of content e.g. porn.
If you want to block porn, you are not going to be able to keep a list
of IP/hostnames that are known porn sites. You need something more
sophisticated. How sophisticated? Try answering the question, "what is
porn?" Is a picture of a naked human porn? What about babies? What
about medical imaging? Will someone's porn be someone else's art? Who
decides?
The folks I have talked who want content filtered don't want to have
to decide what specifically is filtered. They just want their ass
covered in case something comes up. This is where having a 3rd party
who is in the business helps. That 3rd party needs to be compensated
in order to take on the liability of content filtering, which is quite
serious. I'd hate to be on the wrong side of this issue, whichever
side it was.

I use 2.8.38 at a school to filter out everything to do with myspace.com

Hi All,
I have a customer that's looking for a router that also does content
filtering.
What are people using these days?
Prices?
thanks,
