Hi

i'm running a NAT machine here that uses bind9 (named) to resolv domains for
the "other" pc's in my home network.

i would like an easy way to bind9 just don't resolv some domains, let's say,
when my kid punches certainswww.sitesin it's computer, named just ignore
that request and don't do the resolving.

thanks

Using BIND, you could just make yourself authoritative for any domain
you wanted to block, then put the address as 127.0.0.1.
This would not be fun to update though, as it would mean updating
BIND's main config files every time you wanted to add a domain to
block.

I agree, something like Squid may be more what you're looking for.
Then, you also get the speed up benefits of a proxy cache.
