Urgent DNS BlackList

T

tolgay

Our law office was ordered some sites (which are not hosted our servers)
won't be resolved by our DNS. Does windows 2000 DNS have blacklist to do
this restriction. I can create the sites' zone and give a wrong ip and
accomplish that. But the sites count to much.

How can we accomplish that. Thanks
Any advice would be helpful

Sounds like you really need something that can block web access based on
something more sophisticated than this method, which as you surmise, won't
work well. A proxy server / ISA would be the way to go here.

Sure, you can create zones in the local DNS server for the domains you don't
want it to resolve, it is not even necessary to create records in the zones,
these domains just won't resolve.
This won't prevent your internal users from using the Hosts files or
external DNS servers to resolve these sites. What you really need is a proxy
server or firewall to block access to these sites.
