Doesn't the RC5-client have an option to download blah number of keys, and then you should be able to run it on a non-connected pair of machines ? >By blocking a DNS request like this I would think that now it wont work >automatically. My FreeBSD machine works the same way. I have RC5 running >as a process also. No, it shouldn't. What you *can* do is tell the RC5 client (if it doesn't support the above scenario) to use a proxy server (remotely or locally). Don't set a dfilter for that, and it will dial out (or it should :-) Never tried it myself. >So to block a DNS request for certain things but not for others from >specific clients would be what I want to do.
