Hi Interesting question.. If the filter is done right, it does block IP-numbers too by using DNS lookup to solve the name behind the IP-number. Jaska. Viestissä Keskiviikko 11. Joulukuuta 2002 09:54, Bryan Tyson kirjoitti:

Suppose a filter or proxy such as found in many corporate environments is set to block the users from accessing web sites in a certain domain, for example aol.com. If a user enters the numerical IP address of a site in the aol.com domain instead of typing members.aol.com/~bob/bobshomepage, will the filter still block it?

Thank you.
