Filter the traffic for specific IPs/networks/etc (eg by playing some BGP games) through transparent proxies and redirect "forbidden" traffic to a suitable target (or /dev/null). Yes, that is an engineering challenge, but feasible. Yes, that is a legal challenge, but it can be done in ways compatible with constitutional rights and contractual obligations. Yes, that contradicts many fundamental principles of how many people perceive the Internet, but that is a weak argument in public discussion. Yes, judges from the canton of Vaud seem to be specifically incompetent and impertinent, but this can not be corrected by whining on a techie mailing list. Note that I'm far from endorsing or supporting such decisions, but that I'm just asking for more effective ways to unmask the short-sightedness of the judges orders. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
