OpenDNS can be set that way but they could put in proxies I think where the hosts file will be resolved with or without a proxy.... More a question than a statement.

Do not allow it to do any lookups maybe Microsoft DNS could do this but I would not set it up that way.

The machines have Vista Home edition on them. One of the websites is an https site, so we cannot use the built in Parental Controls settings. The main office has a Cisco ASA 5505, so no problem there. I will just give the machine a static IP address, and use the ASA to restrict that IP to only the three approved websites. However, the other sites do not have an ASA. I am not sure what router they have (and will not know until I go onsite), but I am sure it is a low end unit. I was thinking of using a hosts file to resolve DNS names to actual internet addresses. Any better ideas?
