The correct way is to put the IP's in a deny list in the config file.
This is not an option... I estimated using Netcraft's SearchDNS and the regexs that Berkeley uses for their library proxy that this would be an exit policy *on the order of* 10,000 entries long. As Roger has made clear elsewhere, the current directory protocol won't scale well with exit policies of this length (or really in general) and it would be better for the network for these nodes to operate a middleman node instead. This is why a few of us on dorky academic networks are trying to find other solutions. best, Joe -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall PhD Student, UC Berkeley, School of Information <http://josephhall.org/>
