Hi, Daniel...

This works only when resolving names from the local machine.

Not all all. iptables know IP addresses - not host names.

Enter the IP addresses. However it depends on the kind of access. If you
want to block access to specific web sites you will likely block a web
hosting service which serves a few thousand domains per IP. You better
use application level firewalls like a Squid proxy or whatever.

Argh! You don't mean that, do you?
