NS wouldn't wait, because your webserver can't find the URL NS is looking for, and returns an error immediately, unless of course, there is no webserver running. In that case you'd want to point those URL's to a webserver nearby which isn't logging much. Most proxies can filter these sites out. I know of a few like Novells BorderManager (sorry!). You can give numerous values like *sex*, *xxx*, *doubleclick*, *ads*, etc. If you let your firewall do this kind of thing on protocol level, you'd want to have a script importing a list of sites banned and let the firewall REJECT (not DENY) them, causing an immediate error from NS, like a broken pic or something. I've experimented with this an awful lot, and I find that this is not really the thing we'd want. I use a proxy for this. I'm not sure if squid can do this, but I'm sure there are ways... Good luck!

Hi, I think George is right, NS would wait for a long time. Although I've never used one there are proxys that will filter this out. I remember hearing about something called junkbuster that is supposed to do this, perhaps someone who knows more will chime in.

Hi I am using LRP 2.9.4 and want to block access to certain web
ads.doubleclick.net, 207.179.169.46, etc). In Windows, I can put the domain name in my hosts file and point it to my local web server. This, of course, adds traffic to my web server and does not work when the
sites (ie: link
on a web page is an IP address. How can I do this using LRP? Is the "hosts.deny" file for internal access to the router?
