If you are using squid as a www proxy server you might like to have a look at redirector as a possible method of blocking these sites in conjunction with ipfw to force the machines on the LAN to use www via the proxy. I have used this several times before in schools and never had any problems. You can get to redirector from the squid site http://squid.nlanr.net/squid cheers, Carey Nairn On Sat, 27 Jun 1998, Berend de Boer wrote: > On Saturday, June 27, 1998 4:44 PM, Malte Lance [SMTP:malte@webmore.com] wrote: > > > > For a school in my area I want to setup a FreeBSD server as a gateway to > > > the internet.
