Nope. The two I can remember of hand are: www.evangelicaloutpost.com[1] www.shamusyoung.com[2] Both result in 'not found' errors from home: $ host www.evangelicaloutpost.com Host www.evangelicaloutpost.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) $ host www.shamusyoung.com Host www.shamusyoung.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) using these DNS servers: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search hsd1.ma.comcast.net. nameserver 24.34.240.9 nameserver 24.34.241.9 nameserver 68.87.64.196 > Also, are you using manually configured DNS servers, or what they > give out via DHCP?

We couldn't really restrict it, not practically anyway. Perhaps we could play with DNSSEC, but I don't believe that actually is intended for this purpose. -- Seeya, Paul The actual urls I was trying to access were: [1] http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/archives/003253.html (Marine Corps Rules for Gun Fighting) [2] http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=612 (DM of the Rings) Both quite amusing, though the latter is much more of a time sink :) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
