You simply will not be able to see anything. Perhaps you can tune down XF86 ? If you whish to block a particular address you can just add it to your /etc/hosts . Any request for it will be sent to your own machine - and there is nothing undesireable. Place the workstations in a way that your users can't be sure not to be watched. Uli.
