But hosts is operating system-wide. Both ipfw and pf support tables, which is what you want, large sets or unrelated (addresses|networks). Both of them support UID matching as a target (caution: this feature is not mpsafe on FreeBSD-6). Out of curiosity, how big your hosts file is? Can you share it with the rest of us? Perhaps upload it somewhere, so we can try your approach? Nikos
