This seems to be on a potentially promissing track. But I submit that these offending URLs would be more effectivly tracked with DNS like approach which, I believe, could be handled by something like Razor. In fact I recall Vipul mentioning this sort of use on the Razor list. It would/could/should be a separate database than the existing razor database, but the result would be the same. Submit a url to an engine, engine extracts interesting parts, hashes same, submits hash to a razor like engine, and gets a simple binary answer back. In fact, I would bet this could be done by Bind, because dns is really fast, and it really does not care what its looking up. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
